About the MySQL Workbench Developer Central

This web site was created to help MySQL Workbench users learn about the possibilities of the tool, share their experience and work with other users.

At the moment we are using a simple Wordpress installation but once the MySQL Forge 2.0 is ready we are going to integrate the site there. So please excuse the links that take you off the domain.
