This unique FileMaker Server instructional video series breaks down the complex task of setting up and maintaining a free-standing server for FileMaker 10. Using the server-specific software combined with server-grade hardware allows you more performance, security, and reliability than running the regular client versions of FileMaker. If you’re managing large amounts of important data that many different machines need access to and you’re already using the cross-platform FileMaker framework, it’s a no-brainer.

In these videos, long-time FileMaker solutions developer and server-side database expert Wim Decorte draws from years of industry experience to break down the latest version of FileMaker Server into its most basic elements. With special video segments devoted specifically to explaining the program’s history and newest features, the course combines a proper understanding of the program with hands-on instruction in configuring and using the system on a day to day basis.

The training is divided into subject-specific video segments, making it easy for you to skip parts you’re familiar with or return to videos for review. Each lesson provides a real-time preview of the application in use, so that each technique presented appears on video exactly as it does on your own set-up. Special attention is specifically given to using command line functions and the remote access administration panel so that by the end of the training you’re familiar with multiple ways of controlling your database software.

FileMaker Server vs. FileMaker Pro

Many small businesses may be comfortable with just the client FileMaker product, but there are several important advantages to using a dedicated server. If you’re planning to expand the scope of your database-driven solutions or if you’re interested in getting the most performance and reliability from your system, these are some points to consider.

More concurrent users can connect to your databases and files at one time. Using FileMaker Pro, nine users can be connected at the same time, subject to the limits of your hardware. FileMaker Server supports 250 concurrent connections, and Server Advanced can handle 999.

FileMaker Server allows continuous access to your files, as well. To connect to a file using on the the client version, the hosting client must have FileMaker open and running on their machine, with the specific file open as well. FileMaker Server is designed to run in the background, however, and requires no extra effort on the part of a host. And when users are connected to your database, Server allows you to see who is currently accessing the files in its administration console, so you won’t accidentally disconnect someone in the middle of important work.

FileMaker Server 10 also features many enhancements geared specifically toward security and performance. Your specific business needs may very, but if you want and need the very top level of performance out of your FileMaker database solutions the answer is clear. The robust feature set of FileMaker Server combined with the professional training provided in these expert videos will give you everything you need for the best results.

Beginner FileMaker Pro 10 Training Video

This expert-designed Beginner FileMaker Pro 10 Training Video series will introduce you to the newest and best features the program has to offer and help you build and maintain database and invoicing solutions that fit your professional needs.  Introductory videos will guide you through the program one step at a time in an examples-based, fundamentals-first training approach that ensures you progress through the course with confidence as you gradually build your skills.

Longtime script designer and certified FileMaker instructor John Mark Osborne breaks down the program’s basic usage into a series of short example-based instructional segments that are engaging and easy to understand.  Incorporated into each lesson is a live video feed of the application in use, so you can learn by being directly shown.  This visual method of instruction makes even advanced skills easier to learn and increases retention. 

Another advantage of the video training format is its convenience.  Because the lessons are divided into shorter segments based on specific content, it’s easy to skip past videos on subjects you may already know about or review lessons that require a second look.  Full-featured controls within each video allow you to pause, rewind, and fast-forward as you desire, effectively allowing you to learn at your own pace.

FileMaker Pro 10 Advantage: Getting Started Quickly

In addition to other improvements, the engineers behind FileMaker have made the program better than ever at helping you get your first database solution off the ground.  The program offers an impressive set of pre-configured solutions and templates and features flexible import options for leveraging the data you already have on your computer.

 Through the program’s “See it, Use it, Learn it” menu system, you can import data from such common documents as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, text files, and basic databases made in Bento.  In fact, when importing data from Excel, you can use drag-and-drop functionality to place fields and objects where you’d like.  Exporting back to Excel is even easier with the new “Excel Maker” tool.  Older FileMaker files dating back to version 7 are also seamless to work with, making the upgrade to 10 as painless as possible.

In addition, 30 common customizable database templates are included as Starter Solutions for new users.  Whether you’re managing people, projects, or assets, there are ready-to-use database set-ups for Personnel Records, Time Cards, Student Records, Event Management, Research Notes, Recipes, and many more popular tasks.

Although quite helpful, these out-of-the-box solutions won’t work perfectly for every situation. Having a proper understanding of the way FileMaker works makes designing your own solutions relatively easy.  The powerful training included in this instructional video series not only shows you how to design your own database and frameworks but also how to modify what you have to make it work for you.  FileMaker Pro 10 is an extremely capable program, but it’s only as powerful as your ability to use it.
