Negative Positive
Title: a veteran prof. FileMaker Developer
Review: The Book of FileMaker 6: Your One-Stop Guide to FileMaker Pro, Pro Unlimited, Developer, Server, and Mobile by Chris Kubica does go beyond the user manual included with the FileMaker Pro application in many respects (the templates and files on the CD-ROM are OK) but it still spends a great deal of time talking about the basic capabilities and features of the FileMaker Pro application itself instead of what you can build with the FileMaker application in the real world. This type of basic instruction, while important to beginners, is a waste of paper for intermediate to advanced developers which is its target audience. ' Sorry, I *LOVE* FileMaker, but this is yet another example of a FileMaker book written by a developer with little experience outside of the FileMaker 'box.' This is *NOT* the complete reference you've been looking for.
