WHO SHOULD ATTEND
If you are a FileMaker “newbee” or an intermediate user who wants to go beyond the user manual to learn how to build and use a FileMaker Pro database, this class is for you. If you’ve used FileMaker Pro forever but have never received classroom training, this class is for you, too. The small class size means that you will get answers to most of your specific questions and lots of one-on-one instructor time.
WHAT TO BRING
The following items are required.
...Your laptop with a full copy of FileMaker Pro installed on it (Or download a trial version of FileMaker Pro HERE.)
...A way to take notes
...A list of three things you hope to get out of the class. Hopefully this list includes ways you can use FileMaker Pro to help you work faster, better, cheaper.
FOOD & DRINK
The coffee will be ready at 9:45 am, so feel free to come early. The class will decide as a group whether to eat at a local restaurant for lunch or order take-out.
