This course covered so many details that I was not able to find anywhere else.
This has opened up a ton of possibilities for improvements and functionalities in my databases.

Darrel Hampton API Fundamentals for FileMaker Developers

Really worked for me! I had zero knowledge of API's, let alone any other types of programming knowledge outside of FileMaker, but now I do. The course explained the basics that you need and it also opened my mind what else I need to build on. For the money, it's a no brainer.

Jonathan Waller API Fundamentals for FileMaker Developers

The BaseElements course far exceeded my expectations. I've used BaseElements for many years but had a limited understanding of it. This course, combined with the latest version of BaseElements, is an extremely pleasant surprise for both veteran and new users. Congrats to Nick Orr at Goya for his outstanding work in adding amazing new capabilities to BaseElements and to Marc Larochelle and team at Productive Computing for a first-class training experience.

Mark Snyder BaseElements Mastery

Excellent step by step introduction to the topic! The course is an excellent step by step, a guided learning-by-doing, introduction to this important topic. This course will quickly get anyone up and running with how to connect to the FileMaker Data API in easy steps. The course shows you the basics of how to connect at the same time as giving you the tools and teaching you the skills to move on to more complex queries working on your own.

Benedick Miller API Fundamentals for FileMaker Developers

Hours saved! Hours of frustration removed. Having just created API links to Crypto exchanges the concepts here are familiar - but when I worked on my own I went through hours of agony working out just what was needed and what subtleties needed to be addressed. This course cuts through all of that - the hard work has been done for you. Now you can move straight to getting your own solution created. You are going to look very wise! I think this has saved me a couple of weeks of work!
