Deploying FileMaker Go in Government or Corporate Environment

Meeting Detail

Since July 2010, Jeff Moore has been developing mobile applications for the Austin Convention Center. One of these applications was featured in a FileMaker Customer Story and subsequent FileMaker Web Seminars. Most recently, Jeff was invited to speak at the 2012 MacIT Conference in San Francisco, where he described in detail how he and his team design, deploy and maintain mobile applications for iOS, using FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go. His presentation also covered how to address IT concerns over the deployment, maintenance and security of iOS devices, which for many organizations is uncharted territory. Moore's presentation to the Austin chapter of FMPug will be a reiterative coverage of his talk at MacIT.

Jeff Moore is a Database Administrator with the Austin Convention Center and is the owner and principal developer of Fruition Software, an Austin-based FileMaker consultancy. Jeff's career in the IT industry spans 22 years and he has worked as an application developer for a number of industries: legal, publishing, graphic design, healthcare education, visual arts, fitness and government. Jeff is a FileMaker Certified Developer in versions 8, 9, 10 & 11 as well as a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator. For the past decade, he has specialized in the integration of enterprise business solutions with FileMaker workgroup applications.

This FMPug meeting is for anyone with an interest in developing mobile applications for FileMaker Go deployment.

Importing Data Using the Migrator

Meeting Detail

Whether updating a few tables or upgrading an entire solution, data migration is often a painfuly slow and laborious process. Wouldn't it be great if this dreaded task was simple and — dare to dream — extremely fast? Imagine being able to migrate thousands of records across multiple tables in mere seconds, or transfer a million records in under an hour; no babysitting required.

Heather McCue, Lead Developer for Platinum FBA member, Harmonic Data Associates, will provide an in-depth review of the "Migrator". Originally developed to reduce the hassle factor associated with a recurring need to migrate data during iterative development, the Migrator has consistently proven itself a highly efficient and flexible tool.

Join us in February to see the advantages and simplicity of building your own migration tool, and learn from Heather's experience evolving the Migrator model to support a variety of custom options.
