ORLANDO, FL – Aug.13, 2001 – Over 1200 corporate and independent FileMaker database developers from around the world gathered today at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Florida, to explore “The Wonderful World of FileMaker,” at the FileMaker Developer Conference 2001.
FileMaker and Macromedia will demonstrate new ways to integrate FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited, the leading workgroup database over the Web, with Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4, which enables efficient code-level and visual authoring of Web applications. UltraDev 4 is the only product on the market that provides a single visual environment for authoring applications that can use Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP), Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages (JSP), or ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML).
"This is great news to our many customers that need the kind of power and sophistication that Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev provides for deploying their FileMaker databases to the web," said Chris Trytten, Director, Product Management, FileMaker, Inc.
A detailed tutorial, co-authored by FileMaker and Macromedia, is available at
