Toolkit

FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server

Everyone get's there own server. You hopefully brought FileMaker Pro.

OttoFMS

Free server addon - https://www.proofgeist.com/products/filemaker-data-migration-tool-ottofms-superpowers/

OttoFMS helps us automate some of the prepations for the workshop, and it makes it easy to do a couple of other things, like Receiving webhooks and Oauth Callbacks, but it is not required to make use of what you learn here. There are alternative tools that can be used for these things.

OttoFMS is already installed on your server.
