![]() This is going to be the start of a huge shift in how we do changes to solutions in FileMaker. However alongside FileMaker 19, we also got the release of the “ Claris FileMaker Custom App Upgrade Tool” which is complementary to the data migration tool we’ve previously seen. FileMaker now has a “Save As XML” option which is great for for documenting a solution, but still not quite a DDR replacement. I think the other interesting aspect of FileMaker 19 is how the platform is talking about developer tools and how we integrate directly with our solutions out in the field. A insightful take on this is from Todd Geist, describing FileMaker 19 as the “ first open platform“. This release is a big one in terms of the changes and direction in the platform, and the deeper integration of JavaScript and the Data API into FileMaker Pro client is going to be massive. Mark also gave his opinions on the benefits of being a one-stop shop for your clients and the benefits of reselling FileMaker software.As always we are hot on the heels of the FileMaker Pro 19 release to announce a new version of BaseElements, v 19.0b1. Mark discusses Skeleton Key’s extensive participation in DevCon, including the many sessions he and his staff presented during the week ( Security 101 and The ABCs of reselling 7 Tips for Getting More out of FileMaker Cloud and Introduction to SQL and ODBC The Power of Bi-Directional Relationships and Programming for Power Users). ![]() The last guest on the show is Mark Richman from Skeleton Key at 1 hour and 4 minutes. Todd also talks about his training day session and what topics that training covered. In his segment, Todd’s talks about his 2017 FileMaker Award (for Advocacy) and Dave discusses their new product - FMPerception – and what exactly it is/does (hint: FileMaker DDR analysis tool that is crazy quick). The fourth and fifth guests on the show are James (Dave) Ramsey and Todd Geist from Geist Interactive at minute 52:15. Nick also discusses his vendor session, which touched on the differences between RESTfm and Data API, including format flexibility and authentication flexibility. Lastly, they discussed PCI’s hiring and training practices (including our training program for all new hires).Īt minute 41:41, Nicholas Orr from Goyacomes on to talk about their flagship product, BaseElements (which now has a new annual pricing model, making it more affordable and easier to upgrade) and RESTfm (cool story - FileMaker came to Goya to discuss RESTfm when they were creating the FileMaker Data API). Marc and Matt also discussed AWS (Amazon Web Services) and PCI’s hosting services, including how we manage our servers and why we use Amazon Workspaces. Marc also hinted that a Google plug-in might be in the pipeline for PCI (wink) and he mentioned that we are now Intuit Authorized QuickBooks Resellers! Marc talks about what’s new (as of July 2017) here at Productive Computing – which included discussing our latest plug-in, the Exchange Manipulator SE, and its functionality. Jesse’s portion of the podcast also includes an insightful discussion on 360Deploy and how that product works.Īfter Jesse, our very own CEO, Marc Larochelle, is on from about minute 11:40 until 41:00. Jesse talks until about minute 11:40 and discusses their MirrorSync product, including its pricing and what’s new with version 4. The podcast starts out with Matt Navarre interviewing Jesse Barnum from 360Works. You need to open it up in iTunes, but it will certainly transport you right back to Phoenix (lazy river and 99-degree weather not included). If you are missing that exciting buzz experienced at DevCon, we invite you to take a listen to FileMaker Talk’s podcast from DevCon - " Live at DevCon in Phoenix 2017”. With the holidays right around the corner, Devon 2017 feels like a long time ago.
