I picked up my first copy of FileMaker 3 and wrote my first little database app in 1998.
Twenty-five years later, I still find myself eagerly anticipating the next new release, hoping to try out the next cool feature that promises to keep this business of solving problems with software fun.
A lot has changed in the intervening years.
The product has evolved and made significant transformations, gaining power and features.
FileMaker started as a tool that hobbyists and professionals depended on.
Today, it is also unequivocally a platform for professional software developers.
I can’t think of another development platform with the same legacy and endurance as FileMaker.
Many all-in-one database and business application development products have come and gone.
FileMaker is still, by all measures, going strong.
I think this is worthy of celebration and study. In the coming days, you will read and hear about many of the cool features that Claris is releasing with FileMaker 2023.
