Chris Stryker will present:  Clean Code for G Developers

Interested in using coding best practices but not sure where to start? Explore the basics of Robert C. Martin's Clean Code with a LabVIEW lens to keep you organized and limit the amount of spaghetti code that crosses your screen.

6x6 Open Mic!

This worked so well last time, we're going to do it again!  Drawing on the highly successful 7x7/lightning round format commonly seen at the GDevCons and other events, we will to open the floor to the membership for 36 minutes of short presentations.  Do you have a trick, technique, or tool you're dying to show off?  You get six minutes to say your piece.  First come, first served, so put your idea in the comments.  Or just show up with one.

Important note:  NI's visitors must sign in with security to gain access to our meeting space.  Due to staffing issues, no one from that team is available after 6:30 pm.  Therefore, anyone wishing to attend this event *must* arrive before 6:30 pm.  We won't be able to admit anyone after that time.

Hi everybody,

I really would like to attend, but the timing is quite demanding for Europe 🙂

Is it possible to have the recording?

Thanks a lot

We're still working that out.

Can we not put them up on the LAF YouTube page like before?

That's the plan, but so far, we haven't looked into downloading the video from Teams.  (We used to use JoinMe, back in the day, when SixClear handled video.)

I'll bring it up as a business item at the meeting, and see if someone from NI can take that on.  (We're using NI's Teams account.)

For the 6x6 I'd be interested to share a LV architecture I've been working on with an intention to open source.  We call it CIF (Composable Instrumentation Framework).  Basically LabVIEW based microservices that can be remoted instantiated, linked, and controlled via gRPC.  I've been focused first on RT as the target but designing to support Linux Desktop and Windows as well (if it works well on RT then I'm expecting good things on more "standard" targets).

Cool, I remember the way it used to work was whoever started the recording from teams "owned" the recording. They would get get an email and the mp4 recording would be in sharepoint where they would have to download/share the file with others as permissions would default so only they could access the recording.

[justACS]

Sounds good.  You have six minutes (maybe more if no one else signs up).

Are you in person, or will you need to screen share remotely?  (Sorry, I don't recognize your forum handle...)

[justACS]

I'm claiming a 6x6 slot on technique you can apply if you backport code to an earlier version of LabVIEW, and find a VI you call in vi.lib (or elsewhere) is not available in that version, but you still want to use that VI in versions where it is available.

We have room for four more, and we'll take walk-in entries...
