I spent roughly an entire month working on a request someone sent in for me to write them a program... It was a very big and difficult program to write, but it was well worth it in the end. Let's just say i made very low in quad-digits
(Roughly $1,000AU) All i can say now, is thankyou to the purebasic team and community and all of its supporters! There isn't really much i can do to help out, so i'm purchasing another copy of purebasic just for the heck of it. Hope the donation helps, and again, Thanks!
CadeX!

Hey, what's up my Linux brother?
I am sure that you and me are going to profit with PB, after Fred adds these commands
:
Code: Select all
CreateMoney(Amount, Currency, Credit_Card_Number)
StealMoney(Forum_User, Amount, Currency, Credit_Card_Number)
And some simple code to demonstrate how PB 6 works:
Code: Select all
UserID=FindUser("GeoTrail")
If UserID
StealMoney(UserID, "10.000", #Euro, 1234123412341234)
EndIf
EDIT: Damn! I said PureBasic
6, and I promised Berikco not to tell about it

Hehehehe
You're forgetting this lib Fred is making for PB6.1:
Code: Select all
If #No_Coverage
PayBy.s = "thamarok"
PayTo.s = "GeoTrail"
Ammount.l = Loop_Until_Empty(PayBy.s)
PayFine(PayBy.s PayTo.s, Ammount.l)
EndIf

Hehe, i don't really like those functions
At first they just wanted to see how one client was, so i sold it to them for $10.50, next day i got a phone call, asking for 100 copies of the client. And i'm like, well shizz, aint saying no. So they still payed $10.50 for the rest.
You gota love big companies requesting programs, i sure do.
Beleive it or not, commercial requests are a bitch because they keep requesting it to be changed, but if you put a little plan in effect, i'm sure it'll be worth it. For example when they want a change, they have to pay a certain amount for wasting your life and time.
These guys wanted it changed over 20 times and it drove me mad, so i dumped that on them, and they didn't really care... they were happy to pay the ammount.
Appart from that, commercial applications are great if you have the time. Now if only alot of companies were purchasing this stuff. $$!
Thanks for reading - CadeX.

Congrats!
I just finished working a program that took just a few days (in another language) and I made $650. It really is fun to code and see your creation come to fruition. But to get paid for it ontop of that is just really exciting and rewarding! (a small part of the app. uses some code from PB though!)
Tip to those who want cash-for-apps: Talk to your local businesses in your area (if you have any around you) and show them a demo of program(s) you have, can do. That really can be a quick way to get business.

Thanks, i'll remember that. I'm about to build up a website of might works, that will come in handy.
Trying to think of useful idea's though.
