2011 Developer Days Content
LabVIEW Developer Days 2011 Keynote This year's keynote highlights the convergence of larger applications, shorter development times, and a greater emphasis on quality, which has driven the need for high-level approaches and Graphical System Design.
Building Advanced User Interfaces in LabVIEW (Part II) This session will explain best practices for designing professional user interfaces in LabVIEW.  Learn how to customize the front panel and create reusable UI components that comply with standard OS themes.  See examples of highly interactive data displays, configuration dialogs and ways to show a large amount of data while ensuring the usability of the application.
Software Development Best Practices and Source Code Management Whether you're an individual developer or working in a large team, the use of software development best practices can help ensure the quality and reliability of your LabVIEW application.  Learn how to manage source code using the LabVIEW Project and configuration management tools, enforce good coding practices, and ways to test code to help find bugs earlier.
Object-Oriented Design Patterns (Advanced) Object-orientation in LabVIEW enables the use of powerful design patterns that can improve the scalability and maintainability of your code.  This presentation will provide an introduction to some of these patterns and object orientation by comparing them with traditional implementations, and it will also illustrate how they can be used in a Hardware Abstraction Layer to mitigate hardware obsolescence.
Data Communication in LabVIEW This session will provide an overview of some of the most effective techniques for sending and receiving data and commands within a LabVIEW application.  See how to stop multiple loops, send messages to an undefined number of plug-ins, setup two-way communication, how to communicate in a distributed embedded system, and address other common challenges.
Performance and Memory Management in LabVIEW This presentation covers topics such as the LabVIEW execution system, avoiding data copies, reducing memory usage, and general performance tips.

Eli,

Do you have a better link to the Dev Days 2011 schedule?  I can't find the Dev Days under the Events page you linked (http://ni.com/events) and the normal Dev Days link (http://www.ni.com/devday/) still has the 2010 schedule.

Thanks!

Justin

Would love to see an OOD track in the UK Developer days when they get sorted out

[Thoric]

I second that - would be great to see this presented in the UK

[Stressmate]

For those who can't attend, is it possible to get the material and lessons in a ZIP, so we can take advantage of this Developer Day?

Each presentation title on this document is a link.  If you visit the link, you'll see that you can download the slides and demos.

Is there an European Track?

[Elijah_K]

There are similar events in Europe where some of this content may be shown.  What part of Europe are you in?

Hello,

What about Canada?

I am from Kingston ON, is there any session somwehere closeby (e.g. northern New-York state)?

If not, are there going to be recorded sessions available on the web?

Thanks

For anyone that was unable to attend a LabVIEW Developer Days this year, I recommend the following:

1) Harrass your local sales force to ensure that an event is held in your region in future years

2) Look for a virtual broadcast of some of this year's sessions online.  More information on that soon..
