The trouble comes when one insists on using that procedural-programming background instead of letting go and opening one's mind to the dataflow paradigm. It took me a couple of days to stop trying to apply what I "knew" about programming, but once I had accepted the way LabVIEW actually works it was smooth sailing.

It's a very Zen-like situation. The less you know, the more you learn. To learn faster, you must first forget the knowledge you already have.
