Re: What programming lauguage should we start with?

LabView is great, easy to pick-up, easy to pass along, and generally I find easier to teach.

C++/Java on the other hand, while some would consider harder to grasp at first, are still very feasible.

The one thing that is important to remember is that one language is never better then another. It comes down to what you want to do and accomplish, as well as what the programmer in mind feels most comfortable with.

LabVIEW, I am a programer and I have used all of the lauguages and LabVIEW is pretty easy to learn. I can send you some power points if you want help with LabVIEW.

Re: What programming lauguage should we start with?

If nobody on your team has experience with Java, C, or C++, then go with LabView, but if anyone on your team has experience coding in any of the three programming languages listed above, then go with C++ or Java.
