The cost is up to you
One thing is certain : ASPPPPP is free. Totally.
However, I have already received, for other softwares, e-mails of people asking me if they could donate to support the project. So, I have set a Paypal donation system, that indeed motivated me to improve ASPPPPP continuously.
If you like ASPPPPP, you can make a donation thought the above button.
Thanks to every generous donor !
If you want to please me, you can also buy the book I wrote : Objective-C pour le développeur avancé, at Eyrolles. It is available on many web sites, even in ePub format. Obviously, if you are reading the current page in english, there are few chances that you are really interested. But you may also require a translation from my publisher, I would love that.
Why donations ?
I can't omit that I developed ASPPPPP partly for my own pleasure. So, I won't tell you how long it takes. But it does not cost me free time only.
- maintaining this website online is not free and means a few dozen euros every year ;
- my good'old MacBookPro is gone in 2011 (motherboard dead, certainly because of deficient NVidia card…). I can't afford a new computer by now, and my futur developments are suspended. If you decide to give something, you will actively participate to ASPPPPP's future and bug fixes…Thanks to the dedication of a friend, and to Apple support, my MacBookPro finally returned from the ashes of death. It needs some hardware upgrades, but I can code again ;
- I have subscribed a loan for the next 20 years, fortunately not for a computer.
Donors of every country
Because it's funny, I will regularly update that world map with the towns from where the donations are coming. Maybe you will see yours ?
