PLUG+ - Possible Topics

[Nate_Moehring]

The thing that makes the Advanced LabVIEW User Group meetings advanced is YOU.  We need presenters!  That being the case, you can present on pretty much anything you want.  But here are some ideas for topics that I think advanced users would enjoy.  This list will be updated "in place" as topics are added or presented.

What topics would you like to see covered at future Advanced LabVIEW User Group meetings?

• Source Code Control
• Software Engineering tools
• LabVIEW
  • VI Server
    • Wireless GUI Techniques (May 18th, 2010; Sept 14th, 2010)

• Preparing for NI certification exams
  • CLA and CLA Recert (March 22nd, 2011)
• Interfacing LabVIEW and Simulink
• TDMS
• Your specific application domain.  How you currently using NI product to solve real-world problems and/or make money?

If you would like to volunteer to present one of these topics or any other topic, please contact Nate Moehring at nate@themoehrings.com.

If we have a topic that is highly requested but no one will volunteer to present, this is likely an indication that NI is lacking on adequate documentation on that topic.  NI is willing to create new presentation material on a topic requested by our Advanced LabVIEW User Group if no existing presentation material can be found.  That's a good deal.

According to Michael Bryner and Doug Kunz, we are also welcome to post questions to National Instruments.  If we can develop a bank of related questions to National Instruments, they'll coordinate to have a LabVIEW developer either travel out to meet with us, or give a webex presentation.  How sweet is that!  Post your questions here:  http://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/6736
