Episode 20: How FM BetterForms Can Modernize FileMaker-Powered Web Apps

Episode 20: How FM BetterForms Can Modernize FileMaker-Powered Web Apps

In Episode 20 of the FileMaker DevCast, join our ⁠Portage Bay⁠ developers as they talk web apps. Charles, Jacob, Joe, John, Mike, & Russell discuss the nuances of deciding what approach to use when integrating FileMaker data with a web front-end. Do you stick with ⁠WebDirect⁠, branch out to using ⁠FM BetterForms⁠, or commit to full-stack development?

WebDirect has an advantage of proven simplicity. But it also comes with limitations, such as a non-standard web experience and licensing costs for public-facing applications.

FM Better Forms can be an excellent fit when you want to provide a polished, web-based user experience while still leveraging your FileMaker expertise. FM BetterForms can reduce development complexity by handling the back-end integration, deployment, and maintenance tasks that would normally be required in a full-stack web app approach. It also includes common front-end libraries - such as ⁠Tailwind⁠, ⁠Bootstrap⁠, and ⁠Lodash⁠ - that are kept updated for you.

(NOTE: FM BetterForms is not currently compatible with FileMaker Cloud, since Cloud does not yet support XML web publishing.)
