The first was Episode 34, back in May of 2020, and the second time was Episode 71 in September of 2021 – way before ChatGPT was a thing.

Featuring: Martha Zink  Todd Geist  Rick Kalman Description: In this episode of The Context Podcast, Martha Zink and Todd Geist talk toRick Kalman from Claris about the launch of Claris FileMaker 2023. Together, they discuss the upcoming changes to the platform—including the switch to a year-based naming scheme, significant performance improvements, and the availability of Claris Connect on the free plan.

In this episode of The Context Podcast, we are joined by Todd Geist, Corn Walker, and Peter Vinogradov for an epic debate between Team Pro-Transactions and Team Anti-Transactions. They dive in and discuss the benefits (and bad habits) that come with transactions in Claris FileMaker 19.6. FileMaker's 19.6 version release brought simplification and cleanup to the developer side of transactions, creating new commands to cut down on multistep processes and turning hard-to-read error-catching code into something legible. This is certainly an update focused on improving the lives of FileMaker developers. All this, combined with the caveats brought up by the (tentatively) Anti-Transactions Team, help round out the conversation. This podcast is available on Transistor.FM, or any of your favorite podcast platforms. The video is available on YouTube. Check out the rest of our 19.6 series:  Transactions in FileMaker 19.6: Part One  Transactions in FileMaker 19.6: Part Two  Transactions in 19.6 Demo by Corn Walker  Claris FileMaker Server 19.6
