Join me with Dave Ramsey and Hailey Kurfess at the Geist Interactive booth at DevCon. Topics include a new Carbon application, basically a free business starting point for larger database systems (I could not find this on the website, so no link), Generator, a free program that make connecting to an API from FileMaker much easier, FM Perception, FM QBO, GoSign, GoZync, GoDraw, and more.
Dave talks about his baby, FM Perception, which is the newest FileMaker database analysis tool (and it is very impressive).
Hailey is the Operations Manager and does the critical work in keeping the wheels on bus for Geist Interactive.
Geist Interactive also announced a free training series:
At last months FileMaker DevCon, I had the honor of presenting 8 hours of training for the Innovation Track. The material covered JSON, cURL, the FM Data API and JavaScript. It was great fun. But it was a lot of material, and we didn’t get all the way through. In order to make sure that everyone has access to this very important material, I am going to be releasing a very long series of videos, blogs, tutorials, and webinars covering all of the material, starting in the first week of September 2017. Here is how we are planning to pull it off.
Format
I’ll be releasing a video, tutorial and sample files at regular intervals, hopefully, every week. There will be a slack channel for people to ask questions. And we’ll have occasional Webinars for advanced topics and tutorials. We plan to do this for as long as we have topics. See Below for the Topics we’ll be covering.
I signed up, and I recommend you do the same.
Form follows function.
Jesse Barnum’s presentation from DevCon 2016 on deploying FileMaker Server on Amazon Web Services EC2:
I moved my servers to EC2 both for myself and my clients (where appropriate) within the past year. If your business can utilize Wide Area Network (WAN) services, you should take a serious look at Amazon’s EC2 and related services.
360Works uses several AWS services, as do most users, such as Backup, Routing, Email, and more.
If you are thinking about using AWS for your infrastructure, this video is a must see.

Go as deep as you dare in Mislav Kos’s blog post on using FileMaker Server’s logging capabilities to improve performance. Put FileMaker Server on EC2 and one on another hosted machine, see which comes out better.

One of the free example files from FMStarter.com is Simple Backup. Simple Backup is a free FileMaker module designed to create backups and snapshots of local files, and is easily added to your existing solutions.
FMStarter.com also sell some FM Starter packs and offer other example files, such as 3 Multilingual tricks in FM and a navigational file.

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.
