I wanted you all to get the first announcement that the Customer Education team at NI has released a brand new OO course titled Object-Oriented Design and Programming in LabVIEW.
This course was designed and developed wholly by the Customer Education team at NI with significant contributions from multiple groups at NI, including LabVIEW R&D and Systems Engineering.
The next scheduled instance of this new course is 12/13/2010, in Seattle (Bellevue). After that date, all OO courses offered by NI will use the new course material. Here's some high-level information about the course content:
- Initial focus is on good OO design, then move to developing an OO application in G.
- Students learn how to develop a simple class hierarchy.
- All exercise development uses LabVIEW classes.
- Discusses some of the problem types that LabVIEW classes are particularly adept at solving.
- Introduces students to several OO design patterns (channeling, aggregation, and factory patterns).
- Presents code review criteria for OO applications developed in G.
- Students learn how to modify their existing code to leverage LabVIEW classes.
- Students deploy an application that uses dynamically loaded plug-in classes.
Feel free to call me with any questions about this new class - my direct line is 512.683.0216 or you can email me at christie.kurtz@ni.com.
