But this is my first post and I have some questions.I apologize if I am not in the right spot but I felt it covered it here. I am a teacher at a university and I have written my own textbook. 1. I wanted to know if I can put a QR bar code in the text linking my app to get it free somehow with the manual (for my students that have bought my textbook). 2. Also I wanted to know if this same app I can put it on the market and sell it to non students for a small fee. 3. Do I need my own server to do this? Title Comments Hello world(joking)!

You could put it on the market, you would most likely need to add some other functionality to it than just being an app textbook. Apple would most likely say it doesn't belong in the app store..android fine. 3. you could host your files right here on buzztouch hope that helps..good luck and welcome!! ps. the Advanced Search for the forum had tons and tons of posts :) Comments Hi! 1. if you click on Forums at the top of your screen then use the Advance Search function (left side screen) you can search for topics regarding QR code. 2.

How to off a discount is and interesting question. You could have QR code link to a dropbox file for free download, but don't know if you could limit that.

ramzzey13 Aspiring developer Posts: 6 Reg: Feb 03, 2012 Akron 6,310	03/31/12 09:58 AM (13 years ago) Ok thanks to both of you. Another quick question. The app that I wanted to have liked with QR barcode if I used a dropbox file for free download with the textbook would I be able to turn that off after the semester was over? Or cancel that app and make a new one for a new semester? Thanks a bunch! Comments Ok thanks to both of you. Another quick question.

So much stuff in schools via teachers is stolen and plagiarized by a bunch of educationalist who call it collective historical development ('theft'). It like Microsoft and apple suing xerox for copying graphical interfaces.
