LabVIEW 2012 Premier Event

[JÞB]

- Been there. Done that. Got the T-Shirt.

Overall I thought it was a great series of presentations but I have a few questions about content.

1 <Lately this has been a pet peeve of mine> I Want to call on developers at large to STOP recreating RCM functions.  Yes one of the demo projects contained a graph and a button to "save" the data in the graph.  The "Export to Excel" Right Click Method was not used.  It would have done the same thing!  Perhaps I should post it to the R-G thread.  Another demo for RIO suffered from a "Create Report" feature that only exported the image of a graph to a word doc when pressing a button.  Again, a Right Click...... (Rant Off)

2. NI missed a great opportunity to plug the NI Alliance program.  All of the case studies were informative in and of themselves but I seemed to recognize a certain Alliance Partner, who remained unmentioned, having something to say about modernizing  Fracking.  (I Asked, the Case Study was.on this white paper)  [Well, That ought to get Kudos #328 from Ben]

3. No mention of Certification Training got a huge bump though, but what is training worth without demonstration of practical applications of the subject matter?  

Nicely presented.

I didn't sign up because I figured it would just be a huge sales pitch.  I get nothing out of the NI sales pitches.  I guess I have just been to too many of them.  Was this your take on it or did it have actual good content?

Of course it was a sales pitch.  NI is in business because they make sales.  Just as I program Test Automation Solutions in LabVIEW because that is a marketable skill that I have.  The content is now a common point that I can use and expand on when speaking to my clients.  So yes, to me it was valuable.
