Free - JSON Basics
JSON 101 in FileMaker for Beginners
Leland Long returns to do a quick overview of the basics of JSON!
For JSON 101, we’ll be starting with what it looks like, what the syntax rules are, and finally how FM works with JSON currently.Meant for anyone that has not had much exposure to JSON and should walk away from the class with a better understanding.
Execute FileMaker Data API
Our JSON adventure continues with DAPI!
Using this script step we can query our database and get back JSON data. Let's explore our JSON options for creating the query and parsing the results.
cURL options with InsertFromURL in FileMaker (use Terminal for Data API)
Let's explore a few of the cURL options!
Let's explore a few of the cURL options that FileMaker allows us to use in the InsertFromUrl script step. We won't cover them all, but let's explore some examples of a few use-cases that you may find intriguing and useful.
PostMan and APIs in FileMaker (testing APIs; getting sample code including cURL)
Let us introduce this useful tool to you for exploring and trying out API's outside of FileMaker Pro.
This can aid us by practicing and fine-tuning the necessary settings needed for successful API calls, such as FM's DataAPI in a hosted database.

0101 - JavaScript 101.1 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 1
The very basics of Javascript, (Hello, World!) for FileMaker developers!
From the perspective of FileMaker Dev's that know very little about JavaScript, come join us as we learn some simple, basic JavaScript concepts and how to implement JaveScript inside our FileMaker solutions. We will not use any other tools - just FileMaker, scripts, and a Webviewer.
0102 - JavaScript 101.2 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 2
We begin to dip our toes into more complicated Javascript concepts!
From the perspective of FileMaker Dev's that know very little about JavaScript, come join us as we learn some simple, basic JavaScript concepts and how to implement JaveScript inside our FileMaker solutions. We will not use any other tools - just FileMaker, scripts, and a Webviewer.
0103 - JavaScript 101.3 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 3
We continue our way through the 101 series by covering definitions of “Syntax”, “Scope, “Operators”, and “DataTypes” as well as jump into, according to Leland, the more “fun”stuff!
From the perspective of FileMaker Dev's that know very little about JavaScript, come join us as we learn some simple, basic JavaScript concepts and how to implement JaveScript inside our FileMaker solutions. We will explore a few real-world scenarios of implementing some JavaScript to work with a sample table of 1 million records.
0104 - JavaScript 101.4 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 4
We finish up week one with a giant session with Leland covering the last few basic concepts in JavaScript!
I might not have answers to all of your questions, but I have several successful JavaScript and FileMaker implementations that are in use in a medium-sized business, in addition to a couple of JavaScript-based FileMaker Add-Ons available for free downloading. So let's discuss them along with your questions.
0105 - JavaScript 102.1 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 5
Day 5 begins our ‘102’ section and Leland takes us through defining what libraries are and begins our introduction to jQuery!
Let's explore jQuery (a common JavaScript library) by adding it to a FileMaker example solution and learning about several helpful options it offers.
0106 - JavaScript 102.2 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 6
We start exploring how to use jQuery in a webviewer to work with existing HTML from websites!
Let's explore jQuery (a common JavaScript library) by adding it to a FileMaker example solution and learning about several helpful options it offers.
0107 - JavaScript 103.1 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 7
Leland shows the beginning stages of how to generate a PDF with JavaScript in FileMaker using a PDF Library
Let's explore a JavaScript library that allows us to create and /or modify PDF's. When we are finished we will have a complete FileMaker "PDFEditor" tool of our own design.
0108 - JavaScript 103.2 for FileMaker Dev's - Day 8
We continue walking through Leland’s PDFEditor sample by looking at the code to add text to a pdf.
Let's explore a JavaScript library that allows us to create and/or modify PDF's. When we are finished we will have a complete FileMaker "PDFEditor" tool of our own design.
0109 - Javascript 103.3 for FileMaker Dev’s - Day 9
Leland works through more features in the PDFEditor Sample such as; Add Image, Add Page, and Load PDF
Let's discuss everything we have covered in the last several days, along with your questions.
