Got my CLD!

[JÞB]

Well, if you look at the prep material, (hint #1) you will find that the CLD is a practical exam graded by LabVIEW experts. 

What to study?  Design patterns.  and any basic softare enginieering text ( A Software Programmer's approach to LabVIEW ) Has been a frequently promoted book for this jump in thought process - I learned much from reading it many years ago and, many synapses were rewired.

THE IDE, study it, learn the difference between an "App" and a vi

Learn LabVIEW Projects (if you don't already- they were "new" , read that as "I wrote many projects" before LV 8.0, and understand that the organization is necessary to good programming.

The CLAD- tested that you could work within the LabVIEW IDE

The CLD will test that you can apply software engineering techniques in the LabVIEW (G) language.

My best advice?

1 Read the Rube-Goldberg thread on Breakpoint

2 Participate on the LabVIEW forum - Try to solve "Solved" thread without looking at the "solution"

And George-

Never hijack a thread on the forums- 

Go ahead, start your own!  wouldn't this be more clear to others if it was not under the "Got my CLD" thread?
