This presentation at FileMaker’s 2010 developer’s conference is still one of the more highly relevant presentations for developers new to building solution on the iPhone or iPad. This video makes a great starting point for getting your head wrapped around interface design for mobile devices and introduces the concept of “directed workflow.”
It's easy to extend the capabilities of FileMaker Pro on the desktop by using any of the many third-party plug-ins that are available for developers. In FileMaker Go, however, plug-ins are prohibited by the iOS platform's more restrictive security policies. This session will focus on the use of the url protocol for communicating with apps outside of FileMake, as well as leveraging SASE (Server Assisted Script Execution) to enhance external integration with FileMaker Go. Examples for SASE include a real-world case of credit card processing, using a server plugin and reservations submitted to Authorize.net's CIM (Contact Information Manager) to avoid PCI compliance issues. Open FileMaker Go up by using the Open URL and Insert from URL commands.
