Book Reviews of FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Not Missing Anymore
Summary: 4 Stars
When I picked up Filemaker Pro 10: The Missing Manual, I was looking for a book that would help me get a jump start on building a relational database with multiple many-to-many relationships. So far I have completely redesigned one database I had created and creating a new one.
I haven't found every detail I was looking for, but this is a big book! I am learning that FileMaker Pro 10 is quite capable of doing most anything I'd want. One of the things I like about it is that it explains database concepts. I took a course in metadata for Internet-based database systems and I wish I had had this book going into that class because the book really helps a person understand the process of designing an information management system: tables, relationships, etc. It is very easy to overcomplicate the whole thing, and this book tells you what questions to ask yourself along the way.
The Missing Manual guides the reader through creating a database, designing layouts, working in calculations, including logical functions (if...then), and much more. I am sure I'll be referring to it and learning something new for many months to come.
