June Meeting Alphabet Soup: IWP & ESS
Thanks to Bill Kaiser and Bill Heizer for sharing all that FileMaker 11 goodness with us last month. Only Mr. Goupil knows all that FileMaker has up its sleeve this year, but whatever it is, we can count on Bill and Bill to come back and fill us in on it all!
We’re going back to our regular format for June. We’ll have two presentations, one a little easier to wrap your brain around and one that cranks FileMaker’s power up a notch.
Alan Bird, “FILEMAKER TO THE WEB”
Instant Web Publishing is an under-appreciated and really game-changing technology that is available to even those with a client copy of FileMaker. Not very many people realize how easy it is to employ. Alan, who has extensive experience using FileMaker to put all manner of data on the web, will show you just how easy it is. From your kid’s baseball team stats to an e-commerce site, IWP is the easiest way to “database the web” that you will ever find!
Beverly Voth, “CONNECTING TO THE ENTERPRISE”
Another magic trick up FileMaker’s sleeve is the ability to connect to SQL databases. The most popular database type in the world (sorry, it’s not FileMaker!)–databases managed with what is known as Structured Query Language–are used everywhere from dynamic websites to major corporations’ enterprise management systems. What FileMaker calls “External SQL Sources” is the tool that companies use to turn FileMaker into a really flexible and powerful “front-end” to a wide variety of systems. Noted FileMaker author (and KYFMUG member!) has agreed to show us how to use ESS, which is built into every copy of FileMaker, as the switch that turns FileMaker from a mere desktop data manager into a peerless enterprise tool.
LOCATION: Universal Design, 1234 S. 3rd Street, Louisville, in the heart of “Old Town.” Convenient and plentiful street and lot parking ranges from free to cheap.
TIME: 1:00 pm, June 17.
