Following the November meeting of FMburgh (the Pittsburgh FileMaker Developer Group), we asked them which FileMaker WebDirect enhancement has yielded the most benefit to their solutions. We also asked them which External SQL Sources (ESS) they’ve integrated with a FileMaker solution. Finally, we learned that more FileMaker developers see themselves as Pictionary than any other classic board game.
