For those who have yet to dive into web development— whether you’re intimidated by all there is to learn or still believe that Claris FileMaker isn’t fast enough to support a web app— Eric’s session from Claris Engage 2025 will swiftly prove to you just how feasible web dev is.
By utilizing ProofKit (a free tool) and the skills acquired doing FileMaker development, anyone can create a fully functioning web app. For this modern era, where loads of desktop apps are essentially wrapped web apps, having the ability to push data to the web is a vital asset.
ProofKit is a free and open-source command-line tool for quickly and easily generating production-ready web code with special features specifically for FileMaker use cases. It can generate web apps and FileMaker web viewer integrations and can add to your project over time. Whether you’re an aspiring or advanced web developer, this session will show you how easy it is to get started with a new CLI toolkit that handles the hardest parts of configuration.
