Firebird Conference #fbcon12 prepare to warmup with previous talks and videos

Before you go to the Firebird Conference 2012 you can prepare with quite a few talks and videos from last conference ,

I started with Review of the Firebird development in 2011/2012 and Watching the videos from Firebird channel

And then It is nice to see how well Python driver evolved to a stable driver : fdb
