Welcome to VTC's QuickStart! Course for FileMaker 12. I'm Richard Carlton and I'm going to be your instructor for this course. FileMaker Go is Database Client Software for the iPhone and iPad and is designed for use with the FileMaker Platform. FileMaker is an extremely popular database platform that's been around for more than 25 years. This QuickStart! Course is designed for users who are already familiar with FileMaker and want to get up to speed quickly with FileMaker Go 12. For those of you not familiar with FileMaker, VTC offers a number of training videos designed for new users to come up to speed with FileMaker 12. Put simply, FileMaker is a Solution Development Platform; fundamentally it includes the FileMaker Pro line which is the Client and Development Software that runs on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. There is also FileMaker Server, a separate software package that is designed to host and share FileMaker Solutions across an office network or across the Internet. Both FileMaker Server and the FileMaker Pro line run on the Macintosh and Windows platforms. With the release of FileMaker Go 12 users have the ability to access FileMaker 12 Base Solutions from their iPhone or iPad devices. FileMaker Solutions can be loaded locally onto the iPhone or iPad or users can use a wireless network to access a solution that is running on a FileMaker 12 Server. At its core, FileMaker Go is designed for users who are in motion. As technology progresses forward businesses and organizations who have users out in the field or want to strongly consider using FileMaker Go on an iPhone or iPad to give their users access to important information remotely. FileMaker Go is not a development environment but is designed for users to remotely interact with FileMaker 12 databases. Users can add, edit or view records; they can even view or print reports from their touch screens on their iPhone or iPad. In fact FileMaker Go 12 is designed to take advantage of some of the unique features of these devices. For example on the iPhone, FileMaker Go can instruct the phone to actually dial a number of a contact record that's 00:02:37 camera on your iPhone or iPad, taking a picture and storing that image within a Container Field inside the database. FileMaker Go 12 is truly a revolutionary step forward for FileMaker Incorporated and all the millions of users that use FileMaker everyday. During the development of the videos for this course we're going to be taking a look at a number of different Sample Files. One Sample File is our FileMaker Training Tool; this is a Free Training Tool that my organization developed to help FileMaker users come up to speed with FileMaker Go as quickly as possible. This Training Tool can be downloaded at any time and should be considered a companion file to this QuickStart! Course.
