I feel a little overwhelmed. I've installed NI FRC Tools, Wind River, and WPILib... but now I really don't know where I can learn anything about programming in FRC at all. I guess I am looking for guides, tutorials, and all that. I have basic familiarity with C++ and embedded programming, but this seems like something that's awfully difficult to self teach. Any tips?

Start at http://www.frcmastery.com/ unless you have a very good reason not to use LabVIEW.

Every prospective software mentor I've talked to has expressed interest in using C++, which is the main reason I'd like to use it. I have nothing against LabVIEW, I just feel we would be able to get more help with C++.
