Articles I have written about FileMaker development:

• Preventing Careless Delete Actions in FileMaker (Uncredited, via archive.org) - This article attempts to communicate to Low-Code developers and people thinking critically about system architecture how to curtail the destructive qualities of the "Delete Record" option, including turning a portal row delete button into a "recycle" button with an easy restore option.
• FileMaker 17: Data Migration Tool Overview parts 2 & 3 This was a collaborative series that I wrote with a coworker regarding the new Data Migration Tool released with FileMaker 17.
• 2. Building a DMT Helper File (via archive.org) Is a Pro-Code level look at building a Minimum Viable Product GUI interface for the CLI tool that works in both Mac and Windows environments and returns the results to FileMaker for review.
  3. Managing a File Migration – Considerations and Best Practices (via archive.org) This article discusses the pros and cons of both the scripted upgrade process and the Data Migration Tool, as well as a project management overview of how to handle a release for enterprise systems.
• Using JavaScript to Make "Clickable Map" In this video I walk through a proof-of-concept I built for a webviewer-based data-driven interface using container images and JavaScript to show off some of the features of FileMaker 19.
