FileMaker Portland May Meetup Recap

Thank you to everyone that attended our May Meetup this past Wednesday night! We were thrilled to see several new faces, and we hope all attendees found the session to be both fun and informative.

May’s Meetup theme was a recap of the Pause[X]Include Conference, which was held April 8-11th in Tulum, Mexico. Fittingly, the evening kicked off with a taco bar and margaritas.

As is customary, the evening began with a Q&A session where developers of all levels are encouraged to ask FileMaker-related questions, and seasoned developers can share their experiences and insights. Last night’s Meetup featured a live demonstration that showcased one of FileMaker’s fundamental abilities, before launching into a discussion about the Pause[X]Include conference.

David Weiner led the Pause[X]Include discussion, and included a recap of his presentation at Pause[X]Include about FileMaker and Airtable. David discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using Airtable, and how to integrate the two platforms. David’s assessment of FileMaker vs. Airtable can be found here. One other Meetup attendee had been present at the Pause[X]Include conference, and was able to share his experience as well.

We hope for high attendance at our June Meetup. Our June Meetup will be a lunch Meetup, on June 12th. We encourage developers of all abilities to attend, pose a FileMaker question, and bring a friend or coworker. You can RSVP to our June Meetup here.
