Advanced Patterns & Pro Techniques
In this final session, we go beyond the basics and explore advanced techniques that separate good developers from great ones. We’ll cover smart caching strategies, pre-calculated vs on-the-fly data, and the impact of stored versus unstored calculations. You’ll learn how to design systems that feel instant, even when handling complex data. This session brings everything together and gives you a toolbox of high-level strategies you can immediately apply to your own solutions.
Tue - 7/7
What is “Performance” in FileMaker (Really?)
Why do some FileMaker solutions feel instant while others feel painfully slow—even when they use the same data? In this first session, we reset the way you think about performance. It’s not just about speed. It’s about perception, structure, and user experience. We will explore the difference between real performance and perceived performance, and why users often judge your solution long before your scripts even finish running. Through simple but powerful demonstrations, you’ll see how small design decisions can make a system feel fast—or frustrating. This session sets the foundation for the entire series and will change how you evaluate every solution you build going forward.
Wed - 7/8
Measuring Before Fixing (Stop Guessing)
Most developers try to fix performance issues blindly. That’s the fastest way to waste hours. In this session, we focus on one critical skill: measuring. You’ll learn how to accurately track execution time, compare client vs server performance, and build simple logging tools that reveal what’s really happening under the hood. We’ll demonstrate how a script that “feels slow” might actually be fast—and how the real problem is hiding somewhere else. By the end of this session, you’ll stop guessing and start making decisions based on real data.
Thu - 7/9
