Learn LabView, it is far from being a joke and is extremely popular in the field of automation. LabView is absolutely programming, it is easily one of the most powerful programming tools available. I have been programming robots for quite a while, in every thing from MIPS to LISP. LabView is as much of a programming language as any of those, every design pattern you can implement in C/C++ (or your choice of other OO languages) can be implemented in LabView. The students out there who bash LabView most likely have not taken the time to learn it and master it. Sure it is cool to hard code every thing, I remember bashing EasyC when I was in High School because it wasn't real programming. However, I guarantee that when you get a real job writing software your boss isn't going to care that you can write code in a more noble language than the one I choose, if my code is as functional as yours, and I can write it faster I will get the raise, the contract, or the job 100% of the time.
