Re: Is switching from LabVIEW a bad idea?

Our teams experience is while the programming mentors tend to be fluent in C++ from their professional lives many students are not. As AP computer science has shifted away from C to Java student familiarity with C has dropped significantly. Presented with either teaching a student LabView or C++ the better answer may be do both but pick one to start with.
