They're really the same company but Claris used to have a whole bunch of products like Mac Project, MacDraw, MacPaint and they got rid of those to focus in on the FileMaker product line. Now Claris is the company who owned FileMaker before FileMaker Incorporated. In the beginning of my career I started at Claris Technical Support.

At the time of the recording there was no FileMaker 12 Certification Exam but there will be and I'll take it, and hopefully I'll pass that. It's very rigorous and there's only a couple thousand people in the world who will actually pass it. I'm certified with FileMaker 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the certification test is a test that's created by FileMaker Incorporated to test your skills as a developer. I've been developing and training exclusively with FileMaker Pro for 20 years. So let's take a look at some slides so you can learn a little bit about me. I want you to feel confident that the skills taught in this tutorial will help you become a successful FileMaker developer. My name is John Mark Osborne and I want to tell you a little bit about myself so you know an expert is teaching you about how to use FileMaker.
