Review: FileMaker Pro 14 continues to make the best better

FileMaker (an Apple subsidiary) recently released version 14 of their award-winning database software that’s been around 30 years (and I should know; I bought the version 1 in 1985). This release is interesting in that while there is a good range of new features, there are a also few updates to some of their core tools. And, like a true geek, the place where this release shines for me is the spectacular update to their scripting. Is it perfect? No, I feel there are several areas where some UI improvements are still needed. Nonetheless, there are new tools, new scripting opportunities, new UI features, and some very powerful server features. So sit back, pick up your beverage of choice, and read all about it.FileMaker Pro is a database software application that lets you create and manage databases. What’s a database? Consider an electronic collection of business cards where you can search for plumbers, plumbers in your state, and/or plumbers that do house calls. A web search engine is a database, but the contents are based on what’s on the web. If you have an organization and you want to look up members of that organization, you need a custom database.
