Book Reviews of FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual
Book Review: FileMaker lifesaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been years since I used Filemaker, and then only as a database user...not the creator of the application. So when I set out to create a new FM database solution for a small private school I needed help! The tutorial provided with Filemaker9 is VERY basic and the application's "Help" tool is very thin. (I finally stopped clicking on it when search after search yielded no real help at all.)
I picked up a copy of the Missing Manual hoping it would save my neck. I found that I already knew the material in the first half of the book, which was actually comforting. It was the second half where I found the help that I needed to make my FM solution do what I wanted it to do. The Missing Manual is well written by real humans...even with a bit of a sense of humor thrown in. And downloadable files on the Missingmanuals.com site make it easy to learn through hands-on exercises.
I'm now rockin' & rollin' on my new database application! FileMaker is a powerful tool and the Missing Manual has helped me to unlock its secrets! A few dollars very well spent!
Book Review: Filemaker Pro 9 the missing manual
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a thorough review of how to set up various database features of the Filemaker system. Like many such manuals I have had in the past, I found myself reading and re-reading instructions feeling there must be clearer, better ways to instruct someone on the various procedures of this fine database software. Nevertheless this reader got over some difficult spots in setting up his database and gives the book a positive review...
Book Review: Best Filemaker Pro Book Around!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
On my journey to create a relational database I realized the need for a teacher, a resource, and some inspiration. This book is awesome and provided all I needed. My Filemaker knowledge is growing every hour as a result of this book. In addition, my database is becoming more user-friendly, secure, and downright logical.
Thank you, Filemaker Pro 9 Missing Manual, for being there for me in the summer of 2008.

Summary: 5 Stars
I am very much a beginner using Filemaker Pro. I have heard great things about this product. So far this book has been of great benefit in pointing me in the right direction. The book is well laid out and tremendously easy to follow. Just starting to build my templates and the book is right by my side. Highly recommended.
