Claris Home Page FAQ |
|
A small note on the status of
Apple
Computer, Inc. and
Claris
Corporation and FileMaker,
Inc., and some members of their
product lines. Claris
was restructured early in 1998 by its parent company,
Apple.
Most of Claris'
product line, including the
acclaimed ClarisWorks, was transferred to Apple.
Claris
was renamed FileMaker,
Inc. in recognition of its
flagship product, the FileMaker Pro relational database. In
addition to retaining FileMaker Pro and associated software,
FileMaker
also kept Claris Home Page.
FileMaker
is currently transitioning to their new site
(www.filemaker.com),
so most of their online resources, including those for CHP,
remain at www.claris.com. This may change, and the links
below may get broken as FileMaker
shuffles their web sites around. If you can't access a link,
try going to the FileMaker
site, and finding the information
from there. If you find it, drop me a note so I can correct
the problem. (I love links!)

Claris Home Page support and resources:
Main Support Page - Includes a link to the best CHP resource. =)Claris' CHP 1.0 FAQ - (Seems to no longer exist.) Fairly substantial list, but unorganized and outdated. Some entries may still be accurate.

Claris' CHP 3.0 FAQ - A nice list of questions pertaining to errors and problems picked from FileMaker's database.
FileMaker Tech Info Library - This is a frame-based interface which allows you to search for articles on all Claris/FileMaker products.
Quick Training Exercises - Go over the basics of Home Page 3.0 or Homa Page 1.0.
Student Guide to Claris Home Page - (Seems to no longer exist.) This is a simple and nicely done page to guide students in creating web pages for their school, club, or for themselves.

Thomas Reed's The Pixel Pen Web Publishing Guide

World Wide Web Style Guide from Yale's Center for Advanced Instructional Media
Though I try not to list non-CHP links here, I have gotten requests for resources on web design, and I found this site, which seems to be well researched and presented.

Web Page Design for Designers
Yet another non-CHP link, but it is a good resource for creating good-looking web pages, and we definitely can't have enough good-looking web pages.
