Switching from LabVIEW to Java

[rzoeller]

Hi all,
This summer my team is thinking of making the switch from programming in LabVIEW to programming in Java. Some of us (myself included) have knowledge about Java from writing Android apps, and all of us have some experience with C++. I was wondering what tutorials and resources you would recommend for getting started Java coming from a LabVIEW background.

Thanks,
Ryan

We made the switch recently. The resource we used was WPILib documentation (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/7913). It was much easier to do than we thought it would be. I found java easier to learn than labview IMHO.
