I'm using the open source .NET provider for Firebird with ASP.NET,
and it's great (I'm using 1.5.x, 1.6 is still in beta).

That way you can choose your language (C++, C#, Delphi.net or even
VB if you're that way inclined!). And ASP.NET nicely seperates code
from markup, in a similar way to Delphi (.pas file and .dfm).

If you don't have one of the commercial .NET products like Visual
Studio, C#Builder or Delphi.net, you can download the SDK from
Microsoft and use the command line compilers (but life will better
if you invest in an IDE!).

And if you're into Linux there is Mono (www.go-mono.com).
