      DESCRIPTION:
 
The 2015 FileMaker Master Class - Broader View is an intensive three-day seminar dedicated to expanding your knowledge and broadening your approach to FileMaker development. With a cap of 20 attendees, topics such as Perspectives on Solution Design, Application Models, Advanced Scripting Techniques and Designing for Scalability are explored with insight, energy and rigour. Join one of the most widely recognised innovators in FileMaker today, Ray Cologon, for a challenging, enlightening and inspiring three days of new ideas, elegant code and real-world information.

The class will take place over three days and will comprise six substantive and wide-ranging topics as detailed below. Each topic will commence with a presentation and overview of the key points, including or followed by demos as appropriate. Subsequently for each main topic, questions and discussion will be invited, after which a workshop format will be adopted to explore key ideas emerging from the discussion.

Examples and proof-of-concept files will be available to participants, and further examples contributed by participants during the classes will (with permission) also be made available to attendees. Interaction between participants is encouraged as part of a mutual learning, exploration and professional development process. However, please be aware that extended discussion may impact the schedule, and the ability to cover all the planned content.
