John and Kate just returned from the annual CLEAN PACIFIC Conference in Renton, Washington, where they talked with attendees about how crafting custom software for their business is not as intimidating as it may sometimes seem.

The Claris FileMaker Western Washington group and the Claris Connect Meetup are joining together to form a new user group called Claris Beyond. The Western Washington group brings a long history of respect for the FileMaker platform and a deep knowledge of its foundations and capabilities. The Claris Connect group brings an interest in exploring connectors and ways to bridge the gap between FileMaker and other applications. Together, the Claris Beyond user group will continue that shared eagerness to harness the strength of FileMaker while seamlessly connecting it with technology at large - whether that be through Claris Connect, API’s, Tableau, JavaScript, and more.

Welcome to post #182 of our Portage Bay Solutions blog! Our blog launched ten years ago on this date and is something we enjoy creating in order to continue with our own learning and knowledge and to help our Claris FileMaker community stay engaged and curious as well. We’ve covered topics such as navigating portals like a spreadsheet, ransomware awareness, our appreciation for PauseOnError, and our preference for pasta puttanesca. The past year has seen over 2,500 downloads of our free add-ons & demos (which number over twenty and counting!) And in the last six years our number of unique visitors has grown over 3,000%, from 800 per year to over 26,000. Thank YOU for following along and participating with us.
