This is a great day! Downloaded FileMaker Go for iPhone in the middle of the night, and when I arrived at the office, I connected to our databases and started using them from my iPhone, without any changes required.
Of course there is lots to do, making some customized layouts and scripts, adding a capture for the platform in the opening script, and generally just finding all kinds of new ways to work with our information from iPhone and iPad. We’re having a great time thinking what FileMaker Go can do for our clients. This is a whole new kind of freedom.
There are already lots of resources, and FileMaker is adding sessions to DevCon. Here is just a sampling of links for FileMaker Go …
