Je ne comprends pas pourquoi lors de l’achat on oblige les gens à ouvrir un compte paypal contre leur volonté?

  You do not have to create a Paypal account. You can pay by credit card in most countries. For instructions see

    Has Paypal changed the procedures for paying with CC?
    The “pay with CC” REQUIRES that you create (or login with) a paypal account.
    The images shown on https://pennypress.co.uk/how-to-pay-for-purchase-using-a-credit-card/ are different from what I get and it is mandatory that a paypal account be created to complete the transaction.
    The original complaint by Diarra seems to be correct, since that is my experience as well.

      It turns out that the pages you see can vary by country and also can change if you have used Guest Checkout several times before. In addition the pages you see have changed since we wrote the original instructions so I have updated them. But I cannot guarantee you will see the same in every country and on every occasion. In case of difficulty you could try buying our products from Amazon.

        Only problem with that is that the free updates don’t apply to the Amazon purchased books?
        A suggestion: Look at what O’reilly does and do a $5 updatable ebook purchase for printed book owners. (Although without solving the paypal payment problem with credit cards not sure how I can complete a transaction – maybe have an alternate payment processor?)

        If you buy the B4A ebook from Amazon you will automatically receive free updates if you follow the procedure explained in https://pennypress.co.uk/automatic-kindle-update/

Why is the checkout page (the one you enter the payment method/billing address) apparently unsecured? Why no SSL encryption?

  Hi Kevin,
  
  That’s a very good question. Following your question we changed the page so we now embed the SSL secured page https://pennypress.ecwid.com/ into this page using an iframe. So your transactions are now guaranteed to be to totally secure.

    I checked out Amazon but there are TWO books with similar names:
    
    B4A: Ultra-fast Android App Development using BASIC Hardcover – December 1, 2015
    Hardcover: 620 pages
    Publisher: Penny Press Ltd (December 1, 2015)
    Language: English
    ISBN-10: 1871281326
    ISBN-13: 978-1871281323
    
    B4A: Rapid Android App Development using BASIC Paperback – July 27, 2015
    Paperback: 634 pages
    Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 1 edition (July 27, 2015)
    Language: English
    ISBN-10: 1512296252
    ISBN-13: 978-1512296259
    
    Which one is the updated book for B4A v6.50? To add confusion I’m not sure if the dates/pages on amazon might be wrong, since the v6.50 B4A book is Jan2017, right?
    Not sure why the hardcover book has fewer pages yet a more recent published date? (unless the size is different)

      The paperback book “B4A: Rapid Android App Development using BASIC” is always updated to include the latest version (despite the old date, which is when the book was first published not the latest edition date). It currently covers B4A v6.50.
      The hardback book is now out of date.

    You can also access the store at https://pennypress.ecwid.com/ which is SSL secured. I will also check the security of the plugin. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your perseverance!

I have been tinkering with B4J for a while and wonder if the B4A book would be suitable as a learning resource for B4J as, from what I can see by comparison, there are quite a few functional similarities between B4A and B4A.
thanks in advance for any advice on this question.

  Hi Shaun, Yes there are similarities and differences. Sorry but I don’t have enough knowledge of B4J to answer your question.
