   Google Calendar Integration - Overview
   ------------------------------------------

   Creating a robust scheduling calendar within FileMaker
   can either be a big pain or an experience of joy. If
   you're into "the process" of figuring things out, such
   as "the how" then by all means, have at it.

   However, if you're simply needing the functionality, and
   know you've got bigger, better problems to solve, then
   why not take full advantage of solutions which already
   exist.

   If you really need all your data within FileMaker, then
   solutions such as SeedCode's Pro Calendar will get you
   started faster than you can add 42 repetitions -
   actually not that fast, but pretty darn fast.

   If you tend to enjoy the free things in life, then using
   Google calendar is a GREAT solution. The problem is,
   however, that a Google calendar knows nothing about your
   data and will only manage the event itself - not who's
   attending (at least from your database) the event or
   which equipment needs to be at the event or any other
   related bit of information in your database.

   At least it doesn't know until you start using a plugin
   such as FMgCal. This is the route I took when
   integrating a calendar into the KarateApp solution.
   True, I was going to make this solution 100% FileMaker,
   but seriously the amount of work a good calendar
   requires is MASSIVE!

   I was so gratefully happy and ready to start using this
   plugin, that I just had to share how I've integrated it
   into this solution.

   If getting a calendar into your FileMaker solution, with
   all the bells and whistles of a Google calendar, is a
   feature you've always desired, then the short investment
   of time to watch this video will solve that pain in
   quick fashion.
