yikes!

Hah, that's what I get when I try to rush these things out before lunch.  Admin has been notified...thanks for the catch.  🙂

Haven't we all lots of others made that mistake sometimes also?

For a beginner, learning design patterns might indeed increase code developing time on short term.

When I'm asked about tips to learn LabVIEW, I recommend looking at the templates.

Having said that, I wish the NI people would improve the templates. When I took the CLD exam, I started with a template and spent too much time molding it to look like my template.

Opinion? When you took the exam, was a native template of use to you?

When I took the CLD exam, I did not use any of the shipping templates.  What specific changes would you recommend to make the NI templates better?

I am less than 1yr into my education in LabVIEW, and was fortunate to attend a Developer Ed Day back in April where the Design Patterns presentation was given. Back at the office, just a few weeks later, I was trying to solve a particular problem which suddenly struck me as being an appropriate application for a State Machine, and I knew exactly where to go for the How-To. Using the bundled template,and the Manual notes, it was up and working very quickly.

Thanks NI, for the packaged patterns, and for the free Dev Ed Days !
