Just the JS Dev Environment

Description: JavaScript is an incredibly powerful tool we as FileMaker developers have to solve client problems. So it's worth exploring how to work efficiently in the language.; The JavaScript Development Environment was created to solve three problems: how can we code efficiently, how do we see the results of our coding immediately, and how do we deploy (and redeploy) our code into one or many FileMaker apps.; This course introduces you to this environment. You'll walk through all the parts of it and become familiar with it enough to use it in your own JavaScript Development.; Join us in this course and learn the essentials of working with JS in FileMaker in every step: writing, rendering, and deploying. You'll also have some knowledge of VSCode and the GitHub ecosystem, which are modern tools that make JS in FM even easier to integrate.
