Five Minutes with Philly FileMaker: Alan Deffenderfer, ABD Enterprises

I sat down with Alan Deffenderfer, ABD Enterprises, before the Philadelphia FileMaker User Group DevCon 2009 recap meeting held at the IT Solutions office in Fort Washington. Alan shared a couple “wow” moments from DevCon just before the meeting started.

2009 FileMaker DevCon Recap – Video

Here’s the DevCon Recap video stream.  It’s close to 80 minutes long, so you may want to have it running in the background while you work.  Jason Mundok, Alan Deffenderfer, David Hollander and Bryant Minard present.  We had about 20 people in person and 7 watching the live stream.  You can blame the shaky cam late in the video on me trying to do smooth panning by holding my MacBook over my head and pointing iSight while watching the feed on another laptop.  Yes, lame.  But at least not a FAIL.

Enjoy!

Jason Mundok’s DevCon 2009 Recap

I had an exceptionally great time at DevCon this year. Approximately 1,100 FileMaker enthusiasts gathered at the San Francisco Hilton, including Marc Adler and me representing IT Solutions. I stayed busy chatting with some of the top speakers for the new video interview series “Five Minutes with Philly FileMaker” and networking with as many new friends as possible, but I did manage to attend a handful of hand-picked sessions. Here’s a breakdown of what I witnessed!

Five Minutes with Philly FileMaker: Jason Mundok interviews Kirk Bowman

Kirk Bowman, Mighty Data, may have been the single busiest man I know at FileMaker DevCon this year. I caught up with Kirk in a dark hallway just minutes after an unconference session, where Kirk served on a discussion panel. We hope to have Kirk join us for a user group meeting at the IT Solutions office in the upcoming year.
