Book Reviews of Learn FileMaker Pro 9 (Wordware Library for FileMaker)
Book Review: Beginners Only?
Summary: 3 Stars
This book seems to present everything in a tutorial project. Unless you follow the project along it is difficult to just look something up and fix a small problem.
I am a new Filemaker user and consider myself to be an intermediate database user. On the other hand I found Filemaker to be very intuitive and found I had a fairly complex database up and running in a few hours. I bought this book hoping to be able to solve a few small problems as well any new ones that arose. I found it very difficult to do so. I could not situate myself inside the project presented and figure out what I needed. While everything seemed very clearly written and easy to understand, a topic was spread out over so many pages and situated in a large project that it was too much work to figure out what turned out to be simple problems.
If you are trying to learn Filemaker and willing to go through the tutorials then I would look at the other reviews. It seems clearly written and easy to understand to me. I would also add the caveat that I have only tried to look up 5 or 6 things. I ended up reading what seemed like a hundred pages and could not find my answers. Perhaps with more work I could make the book work but I found other resources that work better for my learning style. I would give this book one star for what I needed and my learning style but I wish I would have had a book like this when I learned Access and SQL Server. For a beginner to databases and Filemaker my initial take is this book is deserving of 5 stars.
