2 Days Course
FileMaker Problem Solver
No more old school! During these two days of training, you learn to become a real expert in the development of FileMaker apps by cementing your knowledge with a solid use case. As a team, you design and build a functional app based on an expression of needs.
Your trainer is in turn your client and your coach. He expresses his expectations in his language and then guides you to help push your limits. It’s up to you to analyze the request and then design a solution and create the app that will perfectly meet their needs and objectives.
This is how you approach all aspects of the FileMaker platform (FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Go and FileMaker Server). But also, beyond the technique, you bring an adapted answer and solve a problem similar to what you will have to solve in real life.
