I think basic use of Firebird is quite easy to learn. But IBObjects
allows you to control many details of it and also does some "magic" on
the client side which makes it a bit overwhelming in the beginning.
You can learn a lot from studying the projects in the IBO\Samples
directory, make sure to inspect the dfm files to see which properties
have been set. Once you're doing more advanced stuff you'll often find
that IBO already has a mechanism or even a simple property to allow
you to do just that (you may need to ask here to get pointed into the
right direction ^^).

Feel free to ask here about IBO or in the firebird-support mailing
list about Firebird questions. There are a lot of friendly and
knowledgeable people lurking around.
