IMHO, if a company is going to buy LabVIEW and expect a rookie to program in it, the company needs to get that person to a training facility to at least learn Core 1 and 2 ASAP after purchase. It only costs a week of time and about 1/3 of the LV license (plus travel, if necessary) and will get him going many times faster than learning it on his own (even with the self-paced courses). That's what my company did with me, and I know it was worth much more than their investment in time saved and frustration (and calls to NI for help on every little thing) prevented.
Disclaimer: I do not work for, nor have any financial interest in any LV training operation, whether owned by NI or anyone else. I just shudder to think of where I'd be without having taken the classroom instruction.

Yea that's what I did too. Well, Core 2 & 3. I skipped the Core 1 course and just went through the manual on my own. The training is definately worth it. I don't think throughout all the training I did that I ever used an express VI either 😉
To be honest though, the Core 1 manual is enough to give most people a grounding on LabVIEW and start introducing some basic design patterns.
