Hi Voc. E!

Filemaker Pro is a product from Claris. Filemaker is used to create custom applications. One of its primary selling points is that it allows custom app development without requiring a lot of coding expertise. If you have a business and you want to automate some processes, like managing contracts or inventory or tracking contact lists, then Filemaker Pro allows people that are not traditional developers to do so. It has built in templates as well.

The product webpage is here: https://www.claris.com/filemaker/pro/

The website includes a brief summary of product features and links to stories of businesses that have used Filemaker Pro for specific use cases. If you are interested in learning more, that would be a good place to start.

Also, here is an article about Filemaker Pro written by the University of Tennessee Health Science Center: https://uthsc.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/2280/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=133023

As for whether or not Filemaker Pro is cool, I would say that like most application development tools, it can absolutely be cool or not cool, depending on how you're using it and what your preferences are in applications.
