MacWorld.com: FileMaker 13

Show all headers | View raw

A brief overview of the new FileMaker release from MacWorld.com - it's
amazing how many dimbulb journalists are jumping up and down with
excitement because FileMaker databases can be accessed via a web
browser - something that's been possible (if limited) for many versions
now ...


    Filemaker 13: The database is in your browser
    ---------------------------------------------
    A database is useless if your users can't access it, 
    so on Tuesday, FileMaker revealed a major update to
    its FileMaker database platform that allows users to
    access FileMaker databases through a browser.

    FileMaker 13 lets users access databases through an
    HTML5-compliant browser.

    The marquee feature of the new FileMaker 13 is 
    FileMaker WebDirect, which allows FileMaker to be
    used through an HTML5-compliant browser. Databases
    accessed via the Web use an interface that mirrors
    that used in the desktop app. Changes made through
    the Web are updated to the FileMaker database in
    real time, so you can see up-to-date information
    regardless of which client was used to make the
    updates. At the time of the release, FileMaker 13 
    supports desktop browsers, with support for mobile
    browsers coming at a later date.

    In version 12, FileMaker introduced themes, a set
    of templates with distinct colors, buttons, fonts,
    and borders. FileMaker offers over 50 themes, all
    of them customizable. To help you give the database
    a uniform look, FileMaker is introducing styles, 
    which let you change the look of objects all at 
    once. You can create custom styles and use them
    later.

    With styles, you can give the elements of your 
    database a consistent appearance.

    On the iOS front, FileMaker Go incorporates 
    more iOS behaviors, including popovers, slide 
    controls, and gesture support. The built-in 
    cameras in the iPhone and iPad can now be used to
    scan bar codes, and FileMaker Go supports seven 
    different keyboard types, so you get the 
    appropriate keyboard based on the type of data 
    being entered.

    Other new features include AES 256-bit encryption,
    and an HTML5 administrative console in FileMaker
    Server 13. FileMaker also has several new 
    features specific to database developers.

    Like many other full-featured software packages, 
    FileMaker now offers subscription-based pricing.
    FileMaker quotes its prices on a monthly basis,
    but customers are billed annually. FileMaker 
    Pro 13 is $9 per month; FileMaker Pro Advanced 13
    is $15 per month; and FileMaker Server 13 is $29
    per month.

    If you prefer a traditional software license, 
    that is available, too. FileMaker Pro 13 is $329 
    ($179 upgrade); FileMaker Pro Advanced 13 is $549
    ($299 upgrade); and FileMaker Server 13 is $1044
    ($528 upgrade).

    FileMaker Go for iOS is free. Server concurrent 
    connections for FileMaker Go or FileMaker 
    WebDirect are $25 per month for a five-pack, or 
    $900 for a traditional concurrent-connections 
    license.
