LabVIEW Developer Education Day - A big hit!

Thanks to all of you who took time to attend the LabVIEW Developer Education Day in Portland and Seattle. We had nearly 100 people attend the event in Seattle! It was a great opportunity to network with other LabVIEW developers- almost all of our advanced developers in the area were there. If you weren't there, we really missed you.

Stephen Mercer was our LabVIEW R&D visitor. He did a great job demonstrating various LabVIEW design patterns, and it was unique to have the manager for the OOP functions in LabVIEW describe the right way to architect a program. He also presented on applying software design principles to LabVIEW. Again, his unique perspective as a professional software developer gave us some great insights into this process.

Greg Crouch was our keynote speaker. His 21-year perspective on LabVIEW was interesting, as was his current work in helping design engineers apply LabVIEW to the embedded design space. This is a whole new world for us, but it's great to see the investment NI is making into these tools to make them competitive for this exciting new market.

We had several dozen engineers take the CLAD exam, and we hope many of them passed and will join the ranks of certified developers. We are planning to offer the CLD exam on May 6 in Portland, and May 14 in Seattle. Sign up for the exam by visiting the training schedule and searching for the Certified LabVIEW Developer exam. If you want to take the CLA (Architect), you can take it that same day- just contact us and we'll get you signed up.

We would love to hear your feedback on this event, and the location. Post your thoughts on the event, the presenters, the presentations, the location, and anything else about the event as a response to this blog post. Help us improve it for the future!
