Regular attendee Martin Ramsay has been exploring JSON data structures for his solutions lately and will share with us how handy they are for working with data arrays. Martin will walk us through FileMaker's essential new JSON functions and how they make working with data arrays a breeze.

A lot of people have had a tough time wrapping their heads around FileMaker's 19's WHILE function. It allows some great recursive actions in a way more familiar to traditional programmers, but it's new to the FileMaker world, so the depths of power are still being plumbed by the community. We were able to get frequent DevCon presenter Jonn Howell, whom we've seen in these parts before, live and direct from his hermetically sealed and HEPA-filtered smoke-bound bunker in Northern California to show off his new presentation on the when's, why's and how's of using the WHILE function.
