Claris is the company who owned FileMaker before FileMaker Incorporated. I started out my FileMaker career working at Claris Technical Support. At the time of this recording, though, there was no FileMaker 11 Certification Exam but I'm sure I'll take it when it comes available and hopefully I'll pass it. It's hundreds of questions on all kinds of things from FileMaker Server to FileMaker Pro to scripting to relationships and all that stuff. So anybody passing this has passed a rigorous test. I'm currently certified for FileMaker 7, 8, 9 and 10 and it's a rigorous test developed by FileMaker Incorporated to show whether you're a good developer or not. I've been developing and training exclusively with FileMaker Pro for two decades.

I want you to feel confident the techniques taught in this tutorial will help you become a successful FileMaker developer. My name is John Mark Osborne and I want to tell you a little bit about myself so you know an expert is teaching you about FileMaker.
