Re: Programming with the 2009 controller

LABView, while I have no experience with it, is a graphical interface you use to code.

C++ is a subset of C, meaning that it follows the same syntax. C++ is basically C with added features such as classes (allowing for object-oriented programming) and templates. If you're already comfortable with C the jump to C++ should be fairly easy. Online tutorials such as learncpp.com have helped me a good deal.

Well I guess you can't exactly practice polymorphism in C. But the whole encapsulation thing, easy.
While you can "fake" OOP with C, actually having classes to work with brings a whole new world o' fun into programming.
