Google Books indexed issue 1 of “The InterBase and Firebird Developer Magazine”.

Other issues will be submitted there too, but there is a delay (~8 weeks) before Google OCR and index them. It’s nice and free service, as always Google does.

We’ve prepared and published articles and materials of our second issue in html format. You can read 2nd issue here:
