c# or java course?

MJBrehm,
There are many benefits of OOP in LabVIEW, hopefully the link will be live again soon.  For a simple example of what OOP can do for a LabVIEW application, check out the Object Oriented Programming video clip from the Tuesday Keynote of NIWEEK.

I don't think it really matters which language you pick, if your goal is to learn object-oriented techniques.  The important thing is to learn the concepts and to start thinking in terms of them.  Implementing object-oriented designs in LabVIEW is very different than text based languages because the semantics of the language are so different.  However, the underlying concepts are the same and can be fairly easily applied.  The important thing is to get yourself thinking in object-oriented terms.  This is a transition that usually occurs somewhere between one and three months after you start learning and using an object-oriented language.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks everyone for your inputs.  I am not sure if I am going to take that .net class or not (its on a Friday night).  I think I will just try to learn the oop concepts on my own,  maybe just maybe it will start to sink in eventually.
