Programming with the new interface

Im just wondering if there will be a sample code for labview and possibly windriver as there was for easy c to understand the syntax needed to write the operator control and the autonomous modes that work right and efficiently. I understand that labview will not be as easy as easy c, but that it will be more involved, in depth and tweakable. Also, will there be a labview gui written with some express vis for features like motor control and sensor use as there was with easy c, or will we need to play around over the summer to try to make those ourselves. (I'm sorry that I keep referring to easy c when I make comparisons of labview, but being that those are the only two programming guis that I have used and experimented with, I like to use it as a reference.)

Also, we are currently programming in mplab with C and while on this site, another question arose, this time about windriver. I understand that C++ is better and more advanced than regular C, but will there be a familiar experience while programming. Im not asking for a user_routines.c or a user_routines_fast.c file, but will those of us who have in the past sweared by programming in mplab than easy C be lost or hindered by our past programming experience?

Last question.
I understand that there are many new and interesting features that come with the national instruments controller, but are there many teams out there who are confident that they can use them as advertised?

If all you want the robot to do is spastically spin around in circle, set a couple things on fire and void a few warranties, then it will work perfectly.
