FM Developers in Southern California
am 09.09.2007 19:31:10 von Howard SchlossbergThe next meeting of FileMaker Developers in Southern California (FMDiSC)
will be this Friday -- Friday, September 14th, from 9:30AM to 1:00PM.
If you've never been to one of our meetings before, just feel free to
show up -- no need to RSVP. We'd love to see you at the meeting! New
members are always welcome! Joining FMDiSC and attending meetings is
always free.
We hope you all enjoyed your summer break! Now that we're all back from
our long vacation, our very appropriate main topic will be entitled:
What I Learned On My Summer Vacation!
Our crack team of FMDiSC DevCon attendees (*Bob Shockey*, *Dina Torok*,
*Randy Lawrence*, *Barry Isakson*, *Debbie Cohen-Sitt*, *Dave Knight* &
others) will be reviewing some of the cool things they learned this year
at DevCon in Orlando. This won't be a boring description of the sessions
(which you could get from the conference program). Instead, they'll be
going over some advanced techniques and new features of FileMaker
(focusing on FileMaker 9) that they picked up at the conference. This is
an oral report that you won't want to miss.
Also in attendance at DevCon will be one of FMDiSC's newest members, the
venerable *Darren Terry* of Pacific Data Management. Darren will earn
his fez by demonstrating a grab bag of different techniques including:
using subscripts as functions and procedures, returning results from the
subscript, looping routines to aggregate data without using summary
fields, highlighting the current record in List View without using a
script or plug-in. These techniques are what FMDiSC is all about,
shouldn't be missed, and why we're really happy to have Darren as a member.
For this month's case study, *Jonathan Reff* will present a digital
photography workflow. He will show a system that allows photographers to
upload their images through a Java applet in a Web Viewer, all done in
Instant Web Publishing. He will also show how the whole photography
workflow is now tracked and managed with FileMaker.
Of course, we'll also have some wonderful tips & tricks that will knock
your socks off.
MEETING LOCATION: Bresee Youth Foundation, 184 S. Bimini Place, Los
Angeles, CA 90004; we meet in the the multipurpose room.
