Cope With Tech - by Eric John Emberda

It's quite easy creating a simple information system with Firebird and C# express 2008. You will need the following to do this: 1. Firebird RDBMS (The latest release as of this post is 2.1.3) 2. EMS IBManager Lite (The freeware version. There are other Free Firebird IDE that you can use but for me, this one is the most user-friendly) 3.

Firebird Maestro Of these, I like the EMS IDE.
