Using C++ vs LabVIEW?

[ctccromer]

So I'm at a crossroads. This year I'm the one programmer on my team, and our one programmer last year did not tell me ANYTHING about what to do for this. So I've never used LabVIEW before a couple days ago.

I know basic C++ and taught myself up to pointers (still don't understand those cursed things though). What I want to know is, would I be better off using LabVIEW since I don't know enough C++ for FRC use, or does the C++ used for this stay MOSTLY by the basics and I could just learn the rest? Is it easier to learn LabVIEW from NO prior knowledge at all, or C++ from SOME prior knowledge?
