Where to go from here
After you install FileMaker Pro, you can immediately begin working with
the application. Here are some suggestions on where to go in the
documentation to get started:
1 If you’re new to databases, read chapter 2, “Using databases” and
chapter 3, “Creating databases” in the FileMaker Pro User’s Guide to
learn basic database concepts.
1 If you’re new to FileMaker Pro, work through the lessons in the
FileMaker Pro Tutorial. The PDF file and sample file for the tutorial are
located in the Tutorial folder inside the English Extras folder.
1 If you’ve used FileMaker Pro before, read chapter 4, “New features,” in
this guide for an overview of new features available in FileMaker Pro 12.
