FileMaker Developer Conference 2008
FileMaker Inc recently announced the details for this year’s FileMaker Developer Conference – DevCon 2008. This year DevCon moves back to Phoenix, Arizona after a few years in Orlando, Florida. For Australian attendees this is good news – connecting to Phoenix is much quicker than another long flight to Orlando from the US West Coast after 14 hours in a plane just getting to the US (even worse if you had to fly economy). It’s a shame the new V Australia flights aren’t taking off until December as finally we see some real competition on the route which Qantas and United have been sharing for years. I like the new timetable for the V Australia flights as well – Qantas seem to enjoy arriving in Los Angeles at 6am, having left Australia at 6am and if you’re like me you haven’t slept much on the way.
The conference is on from July 13 to 17 at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona and if you register by May 16 you will save US $200.00 (registration is US $1,195.00 and increases to US $1,395 after May 16). There are 3 tracks this year: Fundamentals, Advanced and Integration. You can get all the details here. FMPug also have a Scheduler formatted for handheld/mobile devices at http://www.fmpug.com/devcon.
Databuzz will once again be attending DevCon 2008 – this is our seventh straight year attending the FileMaker DevCon from memory – and we look forward to learning some new tricks and techniques which we can bring back and implement in our customer’s solutions.
