John Mark Osborne releases the Philosophy of FileMaker intermediate and
advanced training courses
Huntington Beach, Calif., April 30, 2002 -- John Mark Osborne of Database
Pros has been working with FileMaker for over a decade and training
FileMaker students for over 5 years. All of his knowledge has been poured
into the new Philosophy of FileMaker hands-on intermediate and advanced
training courses covering scripting and calculations in multi-user
environments.
The Philosophy of FileMaker courses differ from other FileMaker training on
the market in that they focus on teaching students how to think in
FileMaker rather than to just regurgitate techniques. "With an
understanding of FileMaker functions at a core level, students are able to
solve their own problems after they leave the class", exclaims noted author
and trainer John Mark Osborne.
The Philosophy of FileMaker course comes in two flavors:
- The Philosophy of Scripting (Intermediate) 3 days
- The Philosophy of Scripting (Advanced) 2 days
The Philosophy of FileMaker series is only offered a limited number of
times in 2002 at the following locations:
- San Francisco in June 2002
- Boston in October 2002
- FileMaker Developer Conference, Palm Springs in August 2002

"John Mark Osborne really knows his scripts! But to elaborate, it would be
difficult to imagine a more comprehensive training in FileMaker Pro
scripting. John Mark's relaxing and engaging presentation style is very
effective."

course. Your humor and wit are only matched by your knowledge."
