I sat down with Alan Deffenderfer, ABD Enterprises, before the Philadelphia FileMaker User Group DevCon 2009 recap meeting held at the IT Solutions office in Fort Washington. Alan shared a couple “wow” moments from DevCon just before the meeting started.

Here’s the DevCon Recap video stream. It’s close to 80 minutes long, so you may want to have it running in the background while you work. Jason Mundok, Alan Deffenderfer, David Hollander and Bryant Minard present. We had about 20 people in person and 7 watching the live stream. You can blame the shaky cam late in the video on me trying to do smooth panning by holding my MacBook over my head and pointing iSight while watching the feed on another laptop. Yes, lame. But at least not a FAIL.
Enjoy!

As posted here, we’ll be meeting tonight at 6 PM. Jason Mundok, David Hollander and Alan Deffenderfer will be discussing what they learned at DevCon, in a roundtable discussion format. Not a meeting to miss if you didn’t make it to DevCon.
As with the July meeting, we’ll stream to uStream:

Kirk Bowman, Mighty Data, may have been the single busiest man I know at FileMaker DevCon this year. I caught up with Kirk in a dark hallway just minutes after an unconference session, where Kirk served on a discussion panel. We hope to have Kirk join us for a user group meeting at the IT Solutions office in the upcoming year.
Ernest Koe, Proof, joined me for an interview between the morning sessions (8/15) at the 2009 FileMaker DevCon. Ernest visited the IT Solutions office for a Philly FileMaker meeting earlier this year.
Molly Connolly, Thorsen Consulting, and I sat down Saturday afternoon to talk about FileMaker DevCon, Pause On Error, and what she’s been up to for the last year. Molly will be visiting the IT Solutions office this fall for a Philadelphia FileMaker User Group meeting!
Matt Navarre, MSN Media and FileMaker Talk, presented a fantastic session at FileMaker DevCon on optimizing searches and how to add a Google-like search feature to any FileMaker solution. I chatted with Matt on Friday afternoon (8/14) about fmSearchResults, a downloadable solution that you can integrate into your solution to improve searching functionality which is available at www.seedcode.com. We’re excited to start implementing fmSearchResults into our solutions at IT Solutions.
