Re: Starting programming...

Along with what davidthefat said, maybe your coach/mentor will give you a copy of LabView so you can play with that at home. Thinking like a programer might be the hardest part. I picked up on LabView, and other languages, very easily because I already thought like a programer, I just didn't know it. Have your programer show you some code and explain what it does and soon after you understand how that works try to decode some code without having the programer explain it. I worked with one of you programers at Kettering when we had issues with our watchdog, he knew a lot about LabView and he would be a good person to talk to. How did he pick up LabView?
