Sorry in advance if this is an inappropriate comment or the wrong place to post it...
I just want to say thanks to all the experts in this B4A forum. I'm not as smart or educated as others, and I sometimes ask dumb/novice questions. In other forums such as for Windows or Visual Studio, etc, where I've asked questions I've sometimes received condescending or rude responses suggesting I "shouldn't be coding" or "that's a dumb way to do that" and statements of that nature.
Here in this forum I've always received helpful responses for every question I asked, and have not been treated with disdain for asking what to other smarter people are dumb or obvious questions. I really appreciate that!
I also like the entrepreneurial aspect of this forum; how some of the experts are willing to provide specific technical assistance to my projects in return for modest PayPal donations. I don't do programming for a living but just as a hobby to keep my mind active in my senior/retirement years because I love gadgets and coding, but nonetheless my little projects are important to me - even if not of any commercial value or of interest to anyone else - and I appreciate all the friendly help I get here.
Also, B4A makes it possible for less-skilled/amateurs such as myself who know some old school BASIC to actually make their own smart phone apps without the steep learning curve necessary for Java, C, and other languages, and that is awesome and way cool! B4A is worth every penny of it's very reasonable purchase price and I thank it's creator Erel for making it available.
