I tried to edit the link for the LabVIEW Architects Forum to point to the new location:

http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Architects-Forum/gp-p/5071

However, I kept getting an error saying that the page conatins invalid HTML code and it would not let me publish it.

For an opportunity to learn from experienced developers / entrepeneurs (Steve, Joerg, and Brian amongst them):
Check out DSH Pragmatic Software Development Workshop!

The Center of Excellence links don't work.

 

Links point to: https://learn.ni.com/labview-center-of-excellence, should be https://learn.ni.com/center-of-excellence
