Review

"Best "Practical application of Labview book" "I am a user of both Gary's book and the other person's book and I find myself reaching for Gary's book far more often than the other one. He covers some very advanced topics that are practical to many of us. His writing style allows for easy reading. The CD that is included has so many VI's that you will not know where to start" Reader Review, Amazon.com

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs more basic information on LABVIEW, and less chat., November 25, 2000
By A Customer
I recently needed to get into Labview and so bought this book; and was disappointed. I would not describe the book as practical - a practical book is succinct, and provides the essential information the reader needs to understand the subject. The book is too chatty and long-winded; the author keeps 'beating around the bush' rather than clearly presenting the basics of Labview. When will authors realise that practical books on software packages need to contain NUMEROUS SIMPLE EXAMPLES, with each element of the program fully explained in the text? By proving this, the author helps the reader to understand how the software functions, and enables them to build up their own applications in a modular fashion. Unfortunately, rather than providing this, 'Labview Graphical Programming' frustrates the reader by forcing them to wade through hundred of pages on topics such as the development history and the intricacies of the functionality of Labview. It might be of use to a person who is already familiar with Labview and is currently using it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much different than the previous version, August 8, 2001
By Sam Michael "s_g_m" (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
I gave this book 3 stars because it's still a useful resource for those who are interested in LabVIEW. However, I wouldn't recommend buying it if you have the previous version and don't wish to pursue the creation a real time LabVIEW application on an embedded Linux platform. There really is little, if any, mention of some of the new, interesting features of LabVIEW 6 which to me was a major let down, such as control references and the like. The examples included with the book on the CD Rom aren't incredibly useful or new for that matter, but could be of some benefit to a new user. Overall, if you're new to LabVIEW and have never seen the previous version of this book I'd recommend it, but if you have the older version I wouldn't be too inclined to recommend it for anything rather than the detailed information in the latter chapters regarding LabVIEW RT and Linux.
