Re: Java vs Labview

We use C++, but are thinking of switching to Java for the following reasons:

1) AP Computer Science is Java based. Some kids will come in with Java knowledge. I am sure there are great things about Labview. But, if you don't have to teach the students the basics, you are that much ahead.

2) Mentors don't know Labview. It is easier to get a Mentor involved (and productively supervising the students) if they don't have to learn something new.
