Our New Blog - FileMaker: Explore

by Chad Novotny on Mar 09, 2010, filed under: Announcements

March is the month of new beginnings.  Spring is springing, a new version of FileMaker is here, and we’ve retooled our website. So this seems like a good time to launch our new blog: FileMaker: Explore.

I’m Chad Novotny, Vice President of Technology for The Support Group. I’ll probably be the one posting here the most, but you can expect to see other members of our team. Our goal for this blog is to share all kinds of information with the FileMaker community, and learn from it as well.  This is where you’ll find technical articles, general announcements, downloadable sample files, observations on the FileMaker world, video tutorials and recorded webinars, and anything that occurs to us to post here.  We may even post some items not completely related to FileMaker!

But most important, we want it to be about sharing.  We want to hear what you have to say about what we have to say.

Not so long ago, we had a newsletter, Get ( Answers ), edited by yours truly.  We had a lot of fun answering our readers’ technical questions and demonstrating tips and tricks.  But the newsletter format probably isn’t the best format for what we see as a dialog with our readers, customers, and students.  For one, it didn’t give people the ability to join the discussion, at least not publicly.  Sure, we received a lot of emails commenting on a technique or asking a question, but we think it’s better if comments are available to all, in real time. Two, there’s that question of timeliness: an alert that a new version of FileMaker has been released shouldn’t wait a month to be published in a newsletter.

So Get ( Answers ), for now, is no more — as a newsletter, that is.  We thought some of our articles were pretty darn good, and got some great feedback from our readers too.  We’re going to bring back relevant tips in this blog, updating for FileMaker Pro 11 of course.

But first, I’m sure there’s going to be a whole bunch to say about FileMaker 11. There’s some pretty cool stuff in there…
