This week FileMaker launched the FileMaker Community (www.filemaker.com/r/community), a free online resource for anyone interested in how to build custom business solutions for iPad, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and the web.
Formerly known as the FileMaker Technical Network, or TechNet, the FileMaker Community has been completely redesigned and reorganized to make it easier for people of all skill levels to find information, engage in discussions, and share ideas and interests.
All 60,000-plus current members of TechNet automatically get access to the FileMaker Community. Anyone can browse and download resources without the need to register or log in.
