FileMaker DevCon 2014 (Developer Conference)

The FileMaker Developer Conference “Business Without Boundaries” is coming up later this summer July 28-31, 2014.

Cimbura.com developers will be heading to San Antonio, Texas to learn about the latest FileMaker and web development techniques and products. There will be four intense days with over 1,200 other developers from all around the world. We’ll have a chance to talk directly with the engineers that build FileMaker to get the inside scoop on how things work and what the future holds.

We believe this conference is so vital that we’ve attended the it faithfully for the last 12 years. We wouldn’t miss it for anything because it provides our clients with so much value.

• Seeing the HISTORY of FileMaker shows a consistent dedication to improving the product and building a solid platform to build on.
• Seeing the PRESENT world of FileMaker makes it possible to utilize the best of breed products and technologies to make your business effective.
• Seeing the FUTURE of FileMaker helps us to make development plans that make the best use of your resources.

Here’s the highlight video from San Antonio 2014… All the Cimbura.com people are there. See if you can find them.

Here are some photos we took at the event shared via Facebook.

If you have anything you’re contemplating in new technology related to your FileMaker database or business, let us know and we’ll keep an eye out for it…be it bar coding/RF ID tags, mobile apps on iPads/iPhone, web integration, credit card processing, or bionic leg control. : )

Previously, Cimbura.com, Inc. had the honor of our custom iPad applications being demonstrated during a session at DevCon as one of the premier examples of a mobile solution based on FileMaker Go. Our custom iPhone application was shown last year and we won the Mad Dog PR award.

We plan to be working along with a other FileMaker experts at the DevCon “Visionary Bar” at the FileMaker vendor showcase. This is FileMaker’s version of the Apple Genius bar. We’ll be there to offer free advice and troubleshooting assistance.

One of the great things about DevCon is that it’s usually held somewhere extremely hot in the middle of the summer…Phoenix, Palm Desert, Miami, San Diego, and this year San Antonio. That way, all the developers can work on their tans in between sessions.

For developers that would like to see the history of FileMaker and DevCon as well as keep track of their DevCon history, we’ve created a  FileMaker database to track all past events going back to the first “FileMaker DevCon” in 1996.

There is a lot of info in the database including the location, theme, and attendance numbers of previous DevCons. Some information is subjective…such as the “Lazy River Rating”. If you have any additional information, corrections, or details to add feel free to send them to us and we’ll update it.

See our tips and ideas for enjoying DevCon and getting the most out of it for newcomers and veterans.
