This review is from: FileMaker Pro 6 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)

I knew almost nothing about FileMaker Pro but needed to learn it fast for a project. I read this book in about 5 hours and after that, I could do all but the most coplicated things in FileMaker. I have a Mac and this book is great for Mac or Windows. Unless you need to do very complicated scripts and formulas, this book is great for you. I hope he updates it for FMP 7. All in all, read this book and you will gain a skill you never knew how useful it could be. I make databases for all sorts of things now, and it just takes me a couple hours.

This review is from: FileMaker Pro 6 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)

If you know absolutely nothing about Filemaker, this book is easily the best. Some may pass it up because of a lack of practice files. However, I think that is a plus. I found it easier to develop my own practice database(s) as I went along.

If you want to learn more, I recommend moving on to the Advanced Peachpit book and then to Kubica's, which is too comprehensive and advanced to be used as a learning tool, but an excellent reference manual.
