Overview/Description Expected Duration Course Number Overview/Description
You have probably used a computer to gather, process, and share information. For example, you may have searched for product information on the Internet, totaled expenses using a spreadsheet application, or typed and printed a memo using a word processing application. You may now need to store a large amount of information in an organized manner so that you can quickly and easily sort the information in various ways, and locate specific pieces of information efficiently. In this case, you will use FileMaker® Pro 10 to create and use databases to store and organize information so that it is available for efficient retrieval. The target student for this course is office personnel in an academic or corporate environment with little or no experience using FileMaker Pro, but who need to build a database for storing, organizing, and sharing resource information. Students may have experience using office productivity applications, such as a word processor or spreadsheet program, but may have little or no experience using a robust database.
