This is the beginning of a new, open source project to create a lightweight wrapper for FileMaker Custom Web Publishing designed for use in JavaScript applications. Background: DayBack The release of DayBack for FileMaker last month has started a very exciting time for us here at SeedCode!

Cool and provocative video by Todd Geist showing how he incorporates unit testing into a new project: Unit Testing in FileMaker. Nice stuff.
I’ve had some small pre-FileMaker experience with SQL and had it in my head that subqueries work in the FROM clause. They do in MySQL etc, so I was frustrated when I couldn’t get that to work in FileMaker’s SQL as it’s really needed in some cases. In a current project we have a case where there is a relationship from Contacts to Loans and we wanted to…
Had a chance to catch up with Angelo Luchi at Pause On Error and was very impressed with what he has planned for Foxtail Labs. “Labs” is a suite of hosted APIs that let FileMaker developers employ techniques that previously required plugins.

If you’re using SQL in your FM12 work, you’re in luck. Jason has released a new version of SQLexplorer that writes queries which survive field renaming. It will also apply this abstraction to queries you simply type in there (vs ones you build with the wizard). Big step forward. Still free and unlocked, the new version is here.
The public-facing website SeedCode created for Blueprint Capitol was recently featured on UrbnLivn as a way for savvy Seattle home buyers to find new construction projects before they’re listed on the MLS.

In our last few GoZync deployments we’ve noticed folks frequently need to pull some related data down to the mobile file, but don’t want (or need) to sync the whole related table. Let’s say you want to get a customer’s credit limit on your iPhone but don’t want to sync the (massive) invoices table that is needed to calculate it. Well now GoZync will let you pull that…
The first of a series of small templates built around GoZync. TimeZync has finally shipped. Most firms have a very hard time capturing billable time and TimeZync can help.
