Re: [FTC]: Pros/ cons of programming languages
What programming language are we going to use this year?
I asked myself the same question at the beginning of the season. Then I took my two programmers to a LabVIEW Users Group meeting a few weeks later and one of the people from Innoventor asked my students if they would be interested in an internship once they had learned LabVIEW. I immediately understood that LabVIEW was the right choice. It is the industry standard and to learn anything else would be a waste of time. So we have jumped headfirst into it and haven't looked back since.
