LabView programming techniques

[PaulieQ]

Hello,

Can anybody recommend me some links/documents/papers where several LabView Programming Techniques are presented?

I know LabView (I think that pretty good) but I've learned it by myself.  And now, I have to do some (small-average size) projects that are not for personal use. So I would like to know how can I improve my VIs in order to be easily modified, debugged, tested, structured etc. If you can also recommend me some LabView tools/features that could help me to build "professional" LabView projects and VIs I would be thankful to you.

Thank you,

Paul

The best way is to take the actual courses offered by NI. 

The next best way is to buy a book.  I recommend "LabVIEW for Everyone"  by J Kring.

You can do some free tutorials, I suggest you try looking at some of these tutorials.

There will be some online courses available soon at TelePTC.com

What you can do is post examples of your code and ask for comments.

In addition to Ray's recomendations I'd also suggest you serach this site for "Design-Patterns" and become familiar with those (if you have not already).

I also posted a number of Nuggets on programming techniques as well that can be found in this thread of Nugget links.

If all of that info is "old-news" then try your hand at responding to questions here on the forum, and others will let you know how you are doing.

(another point! if your code resembles any of the examples found in this thread,  you may want to re-think your techniques. 

Now if you get through all of that and really want to test yourself against the best LV developers in the world, you can try your hand at answering Q's on LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Vitual Architects).

Just trying to help,

Ben
