FileMaker Pro is a relational database popular in Windows and Mac environments. It is the best database available on the Mac side and rates just behind Access for Windows. Langer offers a well-written book explaining how to use FileMaker Pro for dynamic data publishing on the Internet--that is, serving up pages of data that look different depending on what sorts of information the user requested. Langer covers FileMaker's generic web-publishing features, customized web publishing, configuration and security, and third-party tie-ins, such as Lasso, Tango and Web-FM. This is not a book for beginners who don't understand relational data design, but it is an excellent book for webmasters looking to expand beyond static web pages.
