Hi Helen,

> Hi all,
> I'm pleased to tell you that I have exchanged contracts with APress
> (http://www.apress.com) to write and publish "User's Guide to the

Firebird

> SQL Database". The manuscript deadline is mid-November. I believe

APress

> intends to post the flyers and the outline on its website late in

June.

>
> No, it's not the "magnum opus" that the original (1700-page) IBDH

was going

> to be. That one is for another season. This book will be about

700 pages

> and I will try very hard to make it the "real insider" book that we

planned

> back in times past. It will take the same practical approach that

was

> visualised for the IBDH and will launch the new Firebird sample

database -

> a real C/S database this time around, not a conversion from a bunch

of

> crusty old Paradox tables. (If I can avoid distractions over the

next two

> weeks, those doing my Database Design segments at the Fulda

conference will

> get a foretaste of the new fdb!)
>
> Celebrate with me!

yeah, yeah, yeah, congrats Helen!
