My comments are as a NON programmer, just a teacher of a shop class.....
Easy C has been our savior the last two years. It has done all we asked and it was done by a student........
With no programming engineers (like many teams) and no programming classes in our school district (like many teams) I fear that a choice to move to a platform that is not as easy as Easy C and not to have the choice to do C if we have the expertise on our team will be a major misteak(sp
) for FIRST.
In education I measure the curriculum worth by a comparing of "What is Industry using" standard.
Question? Is Industry - wide scale using Lab view for their development and also are universities using Lab View for teaching programming in their curriculum?
If not them I say it would be a very poor choice to move to this.... my non programmer opinion.
