Web Viewer Reporting Techniques

This month Bruce Robertson will discuss web viewer reporting techniques, focusing principally on adapting open source web tools such as MIT Simile-Exhibit. See “http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/” for further information on the exhibit. Once set up, these tools give the user a broad range of features for viewing, sorting, filtering and exporting a dataset.

Bruce Robertson is the president of Concise Design, located in Redmond, Washington. Concise Design provides consulting services and general business productivity development using FileMaker and other productivity tools including AppleScript.

He has over 20 years of experience with FileMaker and has spent eight years as a full time FileMaker developer. Bruce is FileMaker 9 certified. In previous lives, Bruce was a mechanical engineer working in Manufacturing Research and Development at Boeing. He also worked as a submarine vibration analyst. Much earlier, he was "professor of motorcycles" at Highline Community College, where he trained motorcycle and outboard mechanics.
