Re: Programs for the new FRC platform

I am coming at this from the point of view of a complete beginner programmer.(I have been programming for just about 3 weeks, i started with Liberty basic, and tried C++)

when i first downloaded NI's LabVIEW, it looks a bit confusing, but don't let this phase you. after watching about an hour of on-line Tuturals, I was programming. It was that simple! Our head programmer knows both LabVIEW and C++, but... he is a senior, and wont be with us next year, so we decided to go with LabVIEW because of how easy it really is.

With C++ there is a much longer learning curve than LabVIEW, and with it only being 3 days Before Kickoff, i would reccomend LabVIEW if you haven't made a decision yet, or if you have alot of new team members who want to learn programming.


**by no means am i an expert, and take what i write with a grain of salt, again I have only been programming for like 3 weeks, and I have yet to explore what either of the languages can really Do!**
