| Very complete. This should be THE reference book every Filemaker Pro 9 professionals should have. I recomend. |
| Maybe not the bible, but it is comprehensive | 2009-11-28 | 5 / 5 |

FileMaker Pro 9 Bible is not an easy read. There are many books on this same subject that engage the reader with a more accessible style (such as, FileMaker Pro 10: The Missing Manual). However, in my opinion. it is an excellent book for the FileMaker user who wants to go the next step, the intermediate to advanced user. So far, I have found everything I need in creating database builds.
Other reviewers noted that the publisher printed the pages with gray ink. I see this technique used in other tech books. I suppose publishers expect that this feeble safeguard will increase sales by keeping users from copying what they need. All this does it make a difficult book more difficult to read with little effect on copying because of copiers that compensate for light print. Matter of fact, because the book is large and difficult to easily carry, I have copied some pages for later use.
This may not be the ONLY FileMaker book you will need, but it comes close. |

| This book goes deep...very deep, and does not take your hand. So there is a lot of info (Bible suggests all). But how do I create a SIMPLE database? Anyway I ordered the Missing Manual and keep this book at hand if I'm ready for it. |

Do NOT buy this book unless you are an IT professional or otherwise very familiar already with database programs.
A much better choice for someone needing to set up FileMakerPro for use in their own business or personal life is The Missing Manual for FileMakerPro. It is much more informative, much better written and teaches the reader everything they need to know to create a very powerful FileMakerPro solution in a logical order. |
| Good overview, short on details. | 2008-08-17 | 3 / 5 |
|
| This book is a solid 'lay of the land' type of overview with a few good examples sprinkled in. As someone who's done a fair amount of coding in other scripting applications (actionScript, lingo, php, mysql, lasso etc) and someone who's purchased this book with the hope of finding a decent treatment of FileMaker Pro's scripting capabilities, I found this book less useful than the manual. |
