Re: LabVIEW vs. Easy C
Ryan,
For starters, the version of LabVIEW that NI is supplying to FIRST is custom installer based on 8.5.1. You can certainly learn a LOT about LabVIEW using the older version 8 but the custom installer for FRC is very nicely integrated for us.

There's another feature in LabVIEW that, IMHO, can really promote "the click" - Highlight Execution mode. Click on the little light bulb on the toolbar and, when your program is running, you'll see data "passing along" the wires. I personally think that this is great way to debug your program AND understand the data flow paradigm (and hopefully answer your "what area" question).

Good Luck!
Russ
