On Tuesday evening, August 24, at the IT Solutions office, I shared this video with the Philly FileMaker User Group during our Annual DevCon Recap meeting…having a little fun at DevCon! Thanks for all of those who made cameo appearances and agreed to go on camera (including two FBA Excellence Award Winners!!!)

Lee Lukehart, SavvyData, has been at the forefront of data visualization for many years. When FileMaker 11 was released with the new FileMaker Charts tool, Lee wrote a white paper and presented a webinar on the feature for FileMaker TechNet members. Lee’s company, SavvyData, also recently put together a couple classes in the San Francisco area on the topics of Charting and Business Intelligence. Lee and I had a chance to chat at the 2010 FileMaker Developer Conference.

Mark Richman, Skeleton Key, presented a packed session about FileMaker and WAN performance on Monday of the FileMaker Developer Conference. It was so popular he was rescheduled to repeat the session on Tuesday afternoon. Mark joined me for an interview to discuss his session and the latest happenings at Skeleton Key.
Matt Navarre, MSN Media, joined me for a chat at the FileMaker Developer Conference 2010 in San Diego about vertical market solutions, FileMaker’s Quick Find feature, and of course his FileMaker Talk podcast. Matt is moderating several panel discussions at Devcon this year, hopefully a growing trend for future conferences.
On Tuesday, August 17, at the FileMaker Developer Conference I had a chance to chat with FBA Excellence Award winner Molly Connolly, Thorsen Consulting, about several panel discussions that she is moderating at this year’s DevCon. It’s always a pleasure to get a chance to chat with Molly. Hopefully we can get her out to IT Solutions sometime in the months to come for a user group meeting.
Mike Lee, Proof Group, joined me for a quick chat Sunday morning to discuss his FileMaker DevCon sessions called SQL to the Rescue about using SQL inside FileMaker solutions. Look for more video interviews and DevCon blog posts throughout the conference from all of the IT Solutions team attending this year’s conference.
We’re at the FileMaker Developer Conference 2010 in San Diego, CA getting ready for an excellent week of networking and learning about all of things FileMaker. This afternoon I dusted off the video camera and started lining up a great list of FileMaker experts to spend a few minutes chatting with to see what they have coming up at DevCon and what mind blowing tips and tricks they’re seeing out in the community. I’m kicking off a new batch of 5 Minutes with Philly FileMaker interviews with our good buddy John Sindelar, SeedCode. John is doing his annual Year in Review session Monday morning, which I already know will be a DevCon highlight.
Chad Sager and Colin Keefe are also representing IT Solutions at DevCon. If you’re at the conference, be sure to say hi!
Thanks to David Hollander for presenting last night! It was great to have an overview of a real-world solution optimized with 10-specific best practices techniques.
David walked through some techniques we’ve seen applied elsewhere – extensive use of script triggers to drive the UI, modular programming, some real world examples of Set Field By Name. There was one especially clever use of Custom Menus to create true modal dialog layouts that can’t be closed by clicking the X box. I’ll ask David to share that one, maybe in an example file.

Jason Mundok gave a great overview of the Portland PauseOnError Unconference to about 20 folks. We also hashed out some plans for the Member page of this blog. Ustream recording below:
