The FileMaker Developers Conference 2009 in San Francisco is fast approaching – PreCon sessions start Thursday August 13 at 8 AM, and the official opening session is 6:30 PM that night!
Since the release of FileMaker 10 in January this year, best practices for a number of techniques, practices and design patterns have changed drastically due to script triggers, the toolbar, and myriad other new features, and many of the scheduled sessions reflect this change in the FileMaker programming landscape.
So the 2009 DevCon promises to be an exciting time…and the Philly FileMaker User Group will be there. Jason Mundok of IT Solutions will be on the spot and posting to this blog whenever he can pry himself away from a session. We have some ideas in mind that are still in the works, so watch this space on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Adatosol will be podcasting; you can subscribe to the podcasts in iTunes or look for them here.
There’s no official word from FileMakerTalk (Matt Navarre & Matt Petrowsky) that I know of, but I’m expecting them to podcast as well.
If you’re lucky enough to be at DevCon, then FMPug’s DevCon Scheduler is indispensable and FREE; find it here. You can not only view session schedules; you can see how many people plan to go to each session – know which ones are popular, and which ones you’re likely to find a good seat in. As a bonus, it includes a Friend Locator and a Message Board!
Finally, FMPug is also offering sponsor discounts on a slew of products during DevCon, whether you’re at DevCon or not. All that’s required is that you be an FMPug member in good standing. Go here.
