This Blog entry is the 13th in a series intended primarily for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and their mentors.
This is a webcast from a seminar I did at the FIRST World Championships in Atlanta, in which I discuss the LabVIEW programming language from the point of view of C++ programmers.
Given that teams are now in the off-season, many teams will be training and practicing for 2010 soon. Deciding which programming language to use next year is a key decision, and in this video I talk about some of the things to consider.
I discuss:
"Technology Religion", and how to teach students a 4-step process to evaluate platforms
A very short live demo introducing LabVIEW and writing actual FRC code
Continuity of tools: likely paths of programming language selection which take students through FIRST: FLL, FTC, FRC
Key differences between C++ and LabVIEW, including: the environment; parallelism and multi-threading; debugging; machine vision
