I'm somewhat in between tds and Troberg. ..
It's an almost 10 year hobby wich I mainly use to defy myself and learn new stuff as in a per need basis... I hope one day to have a "Million Download" app but it's not a main goal...
To finish this app, I want two version free and paid. I don't know which is best two separate apps or in-app purchases. Anyway, both suggestions have there pros and cons.
I know I have some weaknesses in programming, but I want to work on them. Its really hard when questions go unanswered.
* People who don't contribute. Help others out, be active, be nice, and more people will help you. Thank the people who do help you, and provide feedback that it worked. Also, helping others is the best way to learn.
This golden response will now be burried in an off-topic postThe most common reasons people get no response or "Duh!" responses.
* People asking questions that probably would be best answered by "Learn to program first. You lack a few steps on your ladder before you can even formulate a sensible question, and even less understand the answer.". Typical question "How do you make a game?". I've heard (but don't know if it's true) that the Chinese have a word, "mu", which means something like "The question is wrong" or "The answer is too big for the question". These people should probably be answered "mu".
* People who don't do their homework. Sure, one can't read an entire forum, but, when the search gives the solution in the first result on the obvious search criteria, people tend to tell the asker to search first.
* People who expect others to do their job. It's one thing to ask how it's done, another to ask people to write sample code for you that will just copy/paste into their project. If you expect people to write a response of more than a few lines, chances are that you are expecting to much.
* People who can't specify what they are asking for. Sometimes, they are too secretive about their app, sometimes they just don't get specific. To give a proper answer, details are needed. For example, a few days ago, someone asked about a fast scrolling view. Depending on what he means and how he is going to use it, the answer will be very different.

Once again, I can't remember your posts, so these may not apply to you. I just felt that it needed to be said, in a more generic scope.

I saw the tutorial on conditional builds, but I would actually like to see a working model. I tend to learn more from them than broken up bits.Two separate apps, using conditional builds, is by far the simplest.
Its Ok that you haven't read my question(s) I'm sure 59,998 other users haven't as well. By the time I post one I'm frustrated and they probably make no sense anyway. So that is probably my fault. I do try to look at the tutorials and try them, but like I said I learn more from working models. I do my homework and don't expect others to write my code for me. That isn't what I want.I haven't read your questions
I'm not trying to make excuses here, but by the time I get to sit down. I'm tired and all I want to do is code. I want to learn. I'm helping all day and exhausted.* People who don't contribute.

I did go to College once upon a time eons ago. I took programming classes and learned a few languages. COBOL, VB.NET, and started to learn JAVA then I got colon cancer and had to drop out. Never went back."Learn to program first.
When I like a post I usually change the title to Solved. To me a like is a Thank you. I am very thankful of the help that I do get, but when the like system was implemented I didn't feel the need to reply with a Thank you. Maybe I should start again.Thank the people who do help you, and provide feedback that it worked.
@sorex
What timezone are you in? maybe I can find time in my busy schedule to meet up with you. I too enjoy helping others when I can. Sometimes its difficult though, but I do try.
Maybe @Erel could/should update the "How to post a question" stickies in the questions forumThis golden response will now be burried in an off-topic post
Well articulated, should be stickied!
