At the April meeting of FMburgh (the Pittsburgh FileMaker Developer Group), the agenda included a roundtable discussion centered around the topic FileMaker Forensic Investigations. We discussed the tips and tricks that have helped us figure out what was really going on when any issues arose. As part of our post-meeting survey, we asked the attendees if they left the meeting with a new technique or two for finding and addressing those problems they may encounter in their development and programming. We also asked how they collect system requirements when beginning a new project. Finally, we learned the majority does not feel too optimistic about the 2021 season for the Pittsburgh Pirates. All of the answers revealed at the May 2021 meeting of FMburgh are listed below.
