Re: PROGRAMMERS: WIND RIVER C++ vs LABVIEW vs JAVA

I prefer Java as of now compared to C++ and Labview. First of all, the compatible IDE is available for linux also. This is a huge plus for me because I like being able to use my IDE on linux also.

Labview, I do not like GUI that much. I do not like having to navigate through menus to find stuff. Needing to clean graphics to know what is happening was not appealing to me either. I understand that Labview probably is the easiest language to use as of now.

C++ the main offputting thing for me is the use of Windriver. I like Netbeans being available on multiple different operating systems too much.

I would find it extremely pleasing if Python becomes an official option for 2012. I think there would be a high chance like java, to be available on multiple operating system probably because of being open-source and that I do not mind not having to use symbols to enclose blocks of code.

Teaching programming is a very abstract thing. I find it best if you try to explore and ask mentor(s) if you are doing it right or clarify something. Programming for the robot is different from conventional programming since people took care of the lower level things so you could focus on getting the robot to do stuff. I would say the basics would need to be covered like how the basics of the language works and data types, functions, variables, arithmetic, case structures, and loops.
