Marco Cantu blogs about CG and FB
Marco has expressed his opinion about the actual relationship between Borland/CodeGear and Firebird in his blog:
As Carlos Cantu noted, it is very relevant that one of the InterBase engineers (Sriram Balasubramanian) blogged his congratulations. This gives me a good chance to reiterate something I mentioned many times on my blog, my hope that CodeGear (and the Delphi team in particular) will consider Firebird as a partner and not as a competitor of InterBase (the project Firebird was spinned off with Borland/Inprise original blessing). In my opinion, the key priority is to fully support Firebird in dbExpress with a specific driver, but official IBX support will also be nice to have.
Happy New Year!
FirebirdNews desires to all its visitors a very Happy New Year!
Go Firebird!
CodeGear sends congratulations to Firebird
Sriram Balasubramanian (InterBase R&D engineer ) wrote a “congratulations” post in his blog for Firebird’s “SourceForge Project of the month” nomination.
