What is the best forum to use for developer discussions? I can imagine these being Basic4Android specific, B4J specific, spanning both tools, general Android developer topics, etc.
Just as an example...
I'm curious about polling vs. push notification. The advantages of push are clear enough, but polling can be easier to program and requires less infrastructure. So when might polling make sense?
Or consider that there are multiple push notification services out there. How do you choose? Lots of factors here: cost, API availability and simplicity, long-term viability predictions, platform coverage, etc. Some may only work over non-telco network connections (WiFi).
Pick any factor and expand upon it, say platform ocverage: What push services make sense if you only need Android support? Which ones make sense if you need support for both B4A and B4J programs? What if you need to support multiple platforms (e.g. Android, iOS, Windows, OS X)?
But without going into that... which forum here is most appropriate for these programmer's non-coding questions?
