The ground-breaking 'Ace of Charts' course now includes the new Chart layout object introduced in FileMaker Pro 11. 'Ace of Charts' is an eye-opening examination of the means and mechanisms for adding attractive, useful charts & graphs to existing FileMaker solutions. Learn the art and science of creating dynamic visualisations that update on-demand or automatically.

Four different methods for constructing charts in FileMaker are covered, to provide deployment options appropriate for any organization:
   The built-in Chart layout object introduced in FileMaker Pro 11
   Plug-ins and container fields (xmCHART from x2max, 360Works Chart)
   HTML/Flash in a Web Viewer (FusionCharts, FusionMaps, Maani SWF Charts, Google Charts API)
   FileMaker non-chart indicator methods (calculations, repeating fields, conditional formatting) that still have a place in providing visual information and feedback

The capabilities and pros & cons of each approach will be explained and demonstrated. You'll leave this class with an understanding of distinctly different techniques for charting, along with working example files for each that you can adapt for your own solutions.

Recommended for...
    In-house developers* responding to management's requests
    Independent developers* wishing to provide additional functionality
    Anyone* who currently exports to any other application for charting
(*attendees should be comfortable with FileMaker layout mode, calculation fields, and relating tables)

Classes are offered monthly in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in other U.S. cities on an ad hoc basis. To view the current schedule please visit the training page for this course:  http://www.savvydata.com/aceofcharts/ .
