Jackie's question about the FileMaker user manual and/or which 3rd party
book would be helpful raises a question I've had for a while.  

While not absolutely necessary, I think that folks 'getting under the hood'
with ebase would have generally more pleasant and more productive
experiences if they had a better grounding in how to use FileMaker.  You
don't need to be a certified FileMaker administrator (if any such thing
exists) to add fields but there are a lot of ebase functions really force
you to work with FileMaker terminology and interfaces.

Does anybody have any experiences or thoughts about this...including
disagreeing?  Any sense for how much FileMaker training is sufficient for
various levels of work with ebase?  Where/how folks can get more experience
with FileMaker in a more productive way than stumbling through edits to
ebase?  Any place online with a good FileMaker tutorial or free/cheap
training module?
