There's a lot of JavaScript we can do in Claris FileMaker Pro. Put another (and more appealing way) there are many more tools available to a FileMaker developer to solve clients' problems in their apps. It's worth exploring all that we can do in JavaScript to be ready when the time comes to implement the language in a client app. Listen to Jeremy walk us through all the possibilities JavaScript gives the FileMaker developer.
