 For the last 34 years, I've worked in the financial industry at major banks in downtown Chicago. For so many years, one thing that struck me was that I did not know a lot of people that truly loved what they were doing. If you love what you're doing, you don't work a day in your life. I really had to think about what I love to do, and development is what I love to do, and that's what led me toward FileMaker. As a developer, the point-and-click interface is excellent. I chose FileMaker because of the flexibility of the platform to create solutions that run on mobile devices such as the iPad and the iPhone. There's also a FileMaker certification program. I passed the test about a week ago, and that makes me confident that I could go into a new situation with a company or with a school district and create anything that would help them. I'm learning to become a top-shelf FileMaker developer.
