FileMaker Pro offers the perfect solution to a wide range of design problems. The author takes you to the limit of what is possible with this leading database application by providing a good mix of practical theory and step-by-step instructions which demonstrate how to create simple to complex databases. Includes a complete billing and invoice system as well as in-depth coverage of writing scripts.
I liked this book because Mr Singer persents a different way of thinking when using FMPro. I especially enjoyed the parts about how to use boolean logic to make FMPro do what you want with a minimum of overhead. This is not a beginner FMPro book. The advanced nature of the book is not so much explaining FMPro's features, but rather, how to use logic when scripting and performing calculations to make FMPro do what you want. Definately a good book to read and understand. Then perhaps, you can pass it on to a friend or co-worker. It's not really a reference as much as a paradigm shift on how to use FMPro.
This is the best Filemaker book ever written!

Unlike many other Filemaker books, this book explains how to use a database to get work done. The author explains how and why to design a database and not just how to create a layout, etc. By now the book is out of date, having been written for the flat file versions of Filemaker. It is still absolutely useful especially for someone who needs to accomplish real work with Filemaker.
