- [Cris] Hi, I'm Cris Ippolite, and Welcome to Learning FileMaker 16. FileMaker is the leading custom app for business development platform, popular for its easy of use, that's used by everybody from Fortune 500 companies to individuals who just want to be a little bit more organized. I'm going to be your guide through building custom apps in FileMaker Pro for 16, so buckle in because we're about to get going. In this course, you'll learn the basics behind how to create a FileMaker custom app, how to manage the various types of fields to store your data properly, how to work with layouts to display data, as well as how to format your layouts in a number of different ways.
I'll show you how to build interesting and attractive reports, including subsummary reports and we'll take a closer look at how to set up relationships and some of their interesting uses. Throughout this course, I'll be providing guidance and examples based on my experiences with my clients. I'll be working with a bunch of integrated data based around a FileMaker custom app that we'll create from scratch that will act as the example for all our needs throughout this course. And now, without any further delay, let's get started.
