Computer Science for the G Programmer, Part 1

Abstract: Stephen Loftus-Mercer is a senior LabVIEW developer who has presented many times on LabVIEW object-oriented programming (OOP) at NIWeek. This year, his presentation focuses on single responsibility, open-closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and dependency inversion design principles and how you can apply them in LabVIEW. Because of the complexity of the material, this session covers only two of the five principles: Single Responsibility Principle and Open/Closed Principle.

I co-presented this with Stephen, focusing on the OCP portion.  As part of my presentation I showed some sample code demonstrating the SRP and OCP, I have attached that code above as "OCP - LV2014.zip".  I can save this for an earlier version of LabVIEW if requested.

I would also like to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my blog, which has posts dedicated to the SOLID principles with LabVIEW.

I recently hosted a mini-CLA/CLD/CLAD summit attached to NI Days Boston where the topic was SOLID Design Principles applied to LabVIEW.  You can download example code from the mini summit here.  It focuses on a reusable Event Logging module wrapped up in the Actor Framework and applies the different principles one at a time, leading up to a plugin based solution where plugins can define types of events to log, formatting of logged data, and file storage type, with example plugins for each.
