This year marks the second virtual Claris Engage, a conference formerly known as DevCon, and widely attended by FileMaker developers, near and far. I’ve attended many of the events already and below is a short recap of what we’ve seen so far, and what we have to look forward to in the future.
Registration for the annual developers conference for FileMaker and Claris Connect has opened and it will be virtual again this year. While I’ll miss the opportunity for a bit of travel and to see my fellow developers, the Engage Beyond 2021 virtual conference will make it a lot easier for the entire Portage Bay team to participate. This year, Claris has extended the timeline for Engage Beyond and we’ll be having great learning opportunities all year long.
With the recent highly publicized attacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS, we’ve had questions from some of our clients about protecting FileMaker data from ransomware attacks. While we are always careful to make it clear that we are not security professionals, we also try to do our best to answer our client’s questions, and so we have done some self-education recently as well as group discussions during our weekly developer meetings.
