The Informix Blogsphere expands further

A new Informix blog is born:

Jacques Roy: Informix and Computing

Jacques Roy is an acknowledged Informix Expert for many many years. He wrote several books, articles and whitepapers about IDS. I had the pleasure to attend his presentation - Using the IBM Common API for IDS Web Applications - at IIUG 2008. He is a great presenter and I'm looking forward to his upcoming blog entries. Good to see that the Informix Blogosphere is further expanding.
