Create a Project for CLD?

[adam_f]

While preparing for the CLD I've noticed the sample exams say "You must maintain the folder hierarchy..." that is provided on the USB stick.

Does that mean I shouldn't create a Project for my vi's?

Or would that be bad style?

Thanks!!

You should definately be using a project.  A project and file heirarchy are two totally seperate things.

WOW

You've hit a "Pet peeve" of mine.

Projects are essential for organizing code components.  Libraries are essential for reusable code. 

I see too many "Readme.vi"s and way too many broken projects in SCC because the developers avoid using projects.  WORSE, I see too many files with names like "MPJT_Verb_Noun_WithError+(Datatype).vi.s"  that could be renamed to "Read File.vi"" in "Specific file type.lvlib(p)" on "MyProject/<MyTarget>" vi with error handeling"  or in proper english "Do Act" to "What" in "Scope" on "Target" from "Framework Template". Projects are essential to scope
