2009 book recomendation

[Philbot]

I'm looking for a good beginner/intermediate text book for LV 2009 (to use as a class text) and I've found two that seem very similar, but with different costs:

Any personal recomendations from anyone?

LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition

Learning with LabVIEW 2009

Both books are by the same author (inc NI) with the same publication date (Dec 2009) , and both have 752 pages (according to Amazon), but contrary to what you might expect the LVSE costs $35 more than the L/w LV version.

I'd rather not buy both just to find out.

Any insights?

(ps: all the other texts serm to be LV8.x)

Phil.

"LabVIEW for Everyone Graphical Programming Made Easy and Fun" Third Edition by Jeffrey Travis and Jim Kring.

Off-hand I think the only difference in LV 2009 not covered by that book are advanced topics. My bosses uses that text to teach LabVIEW at Carnegie Mellon.

What I can see, why the student edition is more expensive, is that it comes bundled with LabVIEW student edition software, so that might be why.

Thank you... that makes total sense.

I got the recommended text, and the 2009 text.  Both are mamoth!!!!!
