Re: How Did You Learn How To Program?
Me, well I was given a crash course on Lab view, then had a copy of the FRC edition thrusted into my hands, was told to install it on my laptop, and repeat what I learned (this is all thanks to Todd).

From there I just started to play with it in my free time. Whenever I got really stuck (the Help File and Online Recourses wouldn't work) I would go to my College Mentor and asked him. The only reason I did this is I sorta had to learn on the Job. We had one other programmer, and he had a stressful season as it was having to do everything but Autonomous.

Edit: While this is how I mostly learned, it was more or less the need to have to learn on the Job. If anyone happens to know of some great classes to learn more LabView (as well as C++ and Java) I would appreciate it if you posted them here.
