Originally created by Microsoft, OData is an open protocol that allows for the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable REST APIs in a simple and standard way.In this episode, join Martha, Todd, and John as they explore OData and its many wide-ranging impacts: What benefits – efficiency gains, programming ergonomics, and scalability – does OData offer? How does OData compare to and improve upon other methodologies like the Data API, ODBC, and PSOS? Before diving into OData, what are some tradeoffs and cautions we should consider?

But behind the scenes, there's a whole lot more going on! Whether you're hosting on-premise or in the cloud, on your own or through a hosting provider, it's important to keep a few things in mind to protect your data and your business from risks. Ransomware or malware attacks, accidental or intentional internal threats, file corruption, and various data center, network, or internet issues can jeopardize not only your mission-critical data, but potentially your business as a whole. Join Martha, Angelo, and Todd in this episode as they share their experiences and recommendations around backups, monitoring, documentation, and access/user management that can help safeguard against costly risks to your data and your business.General Links: The Context Podcast: Ransomware For Claris FileMaker Developers (Featuring Wim Decorte, Heidi Porter, and Chris Moyer) Ottomatic Otto S3-compatible immutable offsite backup providers/services: AWS Wasabi Backblaze Network/infrastructure monitoring tools/platforms: AWS CloudWatch Zabbix New Relic ZeroTier Deployment platforms:LinuxDocumentation tools: ClickUp BookStack
Martha Zink, The Context Podcast Host & Proof+Geist Director of MarketingTodd Geist, Proof+Geist Co-Founder/CTOJohn Renfrew, Independent Developer in the UK & Proof+Geist AffiliateAs the FileMaker platform grows and changes over time, so too will our views, approaches, and recommendations. In this episode, Martha, Todd, and John explore multi-file solutions from a broader perspective. As Todd and John posit, contrary to what most might expect, the number of files in a system is not a good proxy for how complex the system is – a complex system can comprise one file, just as a simple system can comprise multiple files. Also, optimizing systems and workflows using multi-file solutions – in doing so, breaking free from the ‘everything-in-one-file' mindset – allows for an iterative approach to development that measurably improves and rebuilds systems with new models over time.Join Martha, Todd, and John in this episode as they re-envision best practices and delve into how multi-file solutions and the FileMaker platform can help us build value in new and better ways.This podcast is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RQQcA5T8R-kCorn Walker's presentation (FMDiSC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dztdZrHdrUQOtto, Superpowers for your FileMaker Server: https://www.ottofms.comOttomatic, A Modern FileMaker Hosting Platform: https://www.ottomatic.cloudLedgerLink: https://www.geistinteractive.com/products/filemaker-quickbooks-online-ledgerlink/FMPerception: https://www.geistinteractive.com/products/fmperception-fast-filemaker-analysis/

In this PodCast, we highlight yet another hero in the FileMaker market, Wim Decorte of Soliant Consulting. As long as there has been FileMaker, it seems like Wim has been there helping people on the message boards, writing white papers and presenting at Claris DevCon/Engage. He even created an open source FileMaker product, called the Punisher, aimed at testing a FileMaker solution over the network. We’ll discuss the Punisher and where you can get it, as well as optimizing performance on FileMaker Server, FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go. Specific subjects include FileMaker Server logs, Linux, AWS, backups, 3rd party software, hardware, WebDirect and security. Come join us for this lively conversation with one of the smartest developers in the FileMaker market!

In this episode we discuss some things to be wary of: system requirements for FileMaker Server 17, case sensitive functions, zero based functions. And a couple cool tips.
Matt talks to John from Seedcode and Todd from Geist Interactive about a new tool that will transform mobile development for many of us. GoZync is this solution that allows FileMaker Go developers to enjoy the speed and flexibility of working with a local database on the iPad with the push and pull capabilities to connect with FileMaker Server.
