The e-mail group (IBObjects@yahoogroups.com) is a good place to ask
questions, there's a lot of experienced programmers on that list(including
Jason himself) to give tech support. Also, IBO has been around since
Delphi 2. One starting point is the Getting Started Guide that you can
buy, it helps to get you acquainted with the basics.
