please some tell me how to start programing in labview

[Gary Dillard]

So 2 years ago, when I discovered that we had zero programmers on my new team, I went through the EasyC tutorial in about an hour, and about 2 hours later I had all the code written to drive and operate the robot. I loved EasyC because it allowed me to teach programming logic (which I understand) to the students (who had never been exposed to it) without stumbling through syntax of a new language.

I have never used Labview, but I quickly glanced at some of the online tutorials and it appears to be kinda sorta like EasyC as far as drag and drop is concerned. Can I expect to figure it out in a couple of hours and teach my new students logic in the same way, or should I start taking my C++ books to bed with me at night and put Mike Walker's cell phone on speed dial?
