Book Reviews of FileMaker Pro 10 (Missing Manual)

Book Review: Filemaker Pro 10 - The Missing Manual - Your effectiveness enhancedr
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are new to this product or have been through the updated versions of Filemaker over the years this book is a must.

For the novice, it explains in plain language, how to set up and use this powerful program and get you up and running with well explained examples and screen shots and exercises. It gets one off and running and gathering understanding very quickly. It logically and simply moves the reader into databases with real examples.

For the seasoned expert, it is an excellent reference of the functionality and advanced techniques that will make your databases perform even better. The new features and functionality that have come with each Filemaker version are fully explained. I personally have found in a few weeks great improvements to old techniques and approaches that I either misunderstood or wasn't aware of. Well thought out examples and explanation of the steps for even the most complex functions help guide the reader .

Whilst Filemaker is a very powerful program, it most forgiving of sloppy database design. However the better the design, the better for both user and developer. The tools for this are available in Filemaker but not adequately discussed in my view. The chapter on Relationship graphs, table occurrences and techniques to work with relationships and keeping them simple and understandable is too focused on 'how to implement' in Filemaker rather than understanding design and how it can be organised, approached and improved. It could be argued this is not the books purpose, however good design benefits the approach and using Filemaker's functionality.

Filemaker Pro 10 - The Missing Manual is a well thought out, easy to understand text that explains how to use the program to its fullest extent and make your information more manageable, no matter what you are using Filemaker for.
