The Firebird Quick Start Guide is an introduction for the complete
newcomer to a few essentials for getting off to a quick start with a Firebird binary kit. The
guide first saw the light as Chapter 1 of the Using Firebird manual, sold
on CD by IBPhoenix. Later it was published
separately on the Internet. In June 2004, IBPhoenix donated it to the Firebird Project. Since
then it is maintained, and regularly updated, by members of the Firebird documentation
project.
