I'm a big fan of O'Reilly's books. This one looks very promising, and
I have just added it to my wishlist. Thanks for the tip Ron!

As for databases - I think its a good idea to support a good selection
of data sources. Just now, one of my main concerns, is to make a
structure that is flexible enough, as well as being easy to use.
Flexibility and usability!
