Comparing FileMaker Pro's Web capabilities to Alpha Five

CORRECTION: Apparently I'm the one who hasn't been getting enough sleep. I neglected to give Jeff Cogswell credit for this brief. He put it together with the support of Dr. Martin Heller. My apologies for the confusion, I've updated the post below.

I suspect that Dr. Martin Heller hasn't been getting much sleep lately. Over the past couple of weeks, he was busy putting together his latest tutorial on how to register Web users, which he shared with you last week.

No sooner had he finished that then he got to work on a marketing brief with Jeff Cogswell comparing FileMaker Pro's Web capabilities to Alpha Five, which we're posting today.

In "FileMaker Pro vs Alpha: A Clear Decision," Dr. Heller they look at the two options FileMaker Pro gives its users when they want to deploy an app to the cloud -- Instant Web Publishing or Custom Web Publishing. The brief also weighs FileMaker Pro's customization capabilities, time and resources it takes to build a Web app, costs, and more to Alpha Five.

I won't tell you what they found in this post. Instead, you'll have to read the marketing brief to see how FileMaker Pro stacks up against Alpha Five when building Web apps.

But I will leave you with this. If you're a FileMaker Pro developer looking to customize your Web apps without having to write code, I think you'll find this brief to be very useful.
