The concepts doesn't change between versions.

New versions bring new features, so if you read something about FB 1.0
it's still valid for FB 2.1, when you read the release notes of the
newer versions you will know about new features.

There are changes on how something used to work in FB 1.0 and know works
on 2.1, but it's the exceptions to the rules.

If you tell us your background perhaps we could give more precise tips,
for example, did you master SQL ? Have you worked with other RDBMS ? Did
you use C/S database ? Do you know that a C/S system is a diferent beast
from a Access/Paradox/DBF system ?

see you !
