Philosophy of FileMaker

Awesome !!!!

This course was interesting and easy to follow. Best of all, I knew more when I reached the end of the course than when I started.

At last, a training program that starts with the basics and does not assume any prior knowledge. I have wasted an unbelievable amount of time and money on Filemaker training and support in the past. Your Philosophy of Filemaker series is that far ahead of anything else that it should be promoted by Filemaker as the best starting point for any aspirant Filemaker developer. I appreciate: The many basic concepts which are built upon as one goes from subject to subject. Your clear instructions and explanations. The way you have broken the series up into manageable chunks. The fact that you are not trying to impress with your knowledge but continuously bring it back to the delivery of great solutions. I love the way you introduce really important basic concepts as you cover each topic. These are overlooked and ignored in the official Filemaker material. Why are trainers (the others) unable to write or present in understandable language. There is a concept called the "fog index” which if applied to some of the Filemaker books and training notes indicate the material is beyond the scope of P.Hd’s My only regret is that it has taken me so long to find your material. You are indeed not just a Master of Filemaker but a Master trainer. I am having a ball working through each topic!!! I cannot thank you enough for what you have put together!!!

The training is very well constructed and allows you step by step to understand filemaker, its subtleties, and to develop your own database yourself.

Have been struggling with learning aspects of Filemaker Pro and purchased many other video lessons. Then found 'The Philosophy of Filemaker' on Youtube and watched one of the lessons, went and purchased Part 1 to Part 4. Spent 1 hour going thru a couple of lessons which related exactly to what I was trying to do . . . and amazing . . resolved. Thank you will enjoy the rest of the videos and recommend this amazing resource and learning . . .well worth the purchase . . . saves lots and lots of time and frustration and I have only just started.

There's always more to learn. This course covers stuff I should have known since starting with FM7 and earlier, thank you John Mark.

I cannot put into words that will express the learning excitement that one experiences from these skillfully crafted videos and supportive example files.. I really need to take more time and go through the complete Course again, as it does have sophistication with complete clarity. Thank You, Mr. John Marc Osborne. Bravo!

John is simply the best at explaining the ins & outs of FileMaker. There is a competitor with engineers in multiple cities who has a free template with training. There are tons of numbered table occurrences, numbered layouts, numbered scripts, etc., etc. John has a much simpler and well reasoned approach. At the same time - you get a deeper understanding of FileMaker. I highly recommend any of his courses.

This course is helping me tremendously to improve my FileMaker Pro Skills. John, I have viewed many You tube videos on how to do something in FM. None have been near as good as your explanations. I am so excited about the improvement I am making. I am learning so much it is hard to remember everything I am seeing. I have looked at many lessons more than once. Thanks for putting this training together.

The way you explain things is very good. Been developing for FileMaker since version 5, stopped at version 13. But picking it up again with 16. Only halfway trough part 1 and already learned great tricks :)

The must to have in learning FileMaker philosophy developing. Thank You

This was the best course I have ever attended.
