Database software is not my favorite to work with. To be honest, it seems a bit out of date. When I was working with Filemaker Pro, I just didn't enjoy the entire process. I appreciated professor Olson going in-depth with the tutorials, and it made a lot more sense in that regard.
I don't think that the features were too hard to get down, but the overall process was a tad tedious. I feel that it was important to learn more about database software, but since I will be dealing with a more presentation-oriented career, I may be a tad bias.
I liked the organization factor of using this software. When watching the lectures that professor Olson presented, I felt like this type of information was going to be a lot more enjoyable to work with than Excel. To be honest, they were very similar and maybe that is one of the main reasons I didn't do as well in comprehending the software. Even though I felt this way, I wanted to research and see if anyone else had any negative views on the program. It seems I was not the only one. This website Click Here, illustrated a numerous amount of pros/cons and it made me realize that these programs are becoming a lot less used than ever before. Hopefully there will be some improvements in the user friendliness in the future of designing database programs.
