May 24 – Open Mic
Overview.
An opportunity for several short presentations from Seattle area developers.
How to Get Involved.
The last time we did this it was pretty cool and we saw some neat stuff, so I’d encourage anyone who has something they want to share, ask, or bitch about, to sign up by leaving a comment on the blog below. Very informal, doesn’t have to be fancy. Here is a good way to think about it: If you’re really interested in it, other folks in the group likely are as well.
So post a comment below and get involved.

FileMaker Script Triggers Workshop
Mark your calendars for May 18th, 2010! Geoff Coffey will be our guest speaker this month, and once again he will be sharing one of his FileMaker Developer Conference sessions. Geoff will be presenting two sessions at DevCon in August 2010: “Practical Script Triggers” and “Script Triggers Workshop”.
Here in Phoenix, we’ll have the good fortune to participate in Geoff’s workshop session months before DevCon!
In this workshop, we’ll explore some practical script trigger techniques we can use right away. We’ll also learn how to apply the concept of “let FileMaker be FileMaker” to both new and existing systems. Bring your questions and an open mind. Be sure to bring your laptop, too, so you can really take advantage of this workshop-style meeting!
What We’ll Learn
In addition to getting our most pressing script trigger questions answered, we’ll also be learning how to:
- Get usable drop-in trigger-powered techniques.
- Do less and get more… by letting FileMaker do what it does best.
- Take the power and simplicity of our FileMaker systems to the next level.
