Bento is a new, consumer oriented database from the makers of the venerable FileMaker Pro. Bento puts a whole new twist on databases. It makes them, dare I claim it, fun? I'm not kidding.
One of the ironies about modern personal computers is that they are very powerful data processing machines and only a minority of users even know what a database is or how to create and use one. This was partly to blame of how arcane precious database applications were. Bento tears down some of the walls and allows you to create, populate and modify databases with an ease that just wasn't possible with earlier database products. It's truly amazing.
In fact, it is almost an advantage to not understand traditional databases before starting to learn Bento. On the Bento discussion forums, there are many questions from people familiar with traditional databases who are having a difficult time unlearning what they had learned to use other databases.
Bento makes using databases as easy as iTunes makes organizing your music/movie collection.
