Good LabVIEW book, but needs to be polished.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had a high expectation since the book is written by a very active ID from NI community. However, I am disappointed for the following reasons.
1. Most block diagram pictures are blurred and impossible to read. At least, call outs can be made illegible easily if the authors really care.
2. The book quotes a lot of posts from NI community. Can we guarantee post links will still be valid 10 years later? Knowledge should be filtered by authors and present to readers on a book. Instead, I see "go read this and that" in lots of places. I would say the book is not self contained. Just my personal opinion: a good book should be well organized and would help readers to gain necessary knowledge in a reduced amount of time. This book apparently failed in this regard.
3. Sometimes, the authors just mention some literature and move on without further discussion for an important topic. For example, pp.244, MAL (measurement abstract layer) has 8 lines of wording. How about your implementation or is an example still in production???
3. The book is definitely NOT for beginners. There are a couple of interesting examples, the authors assume readers know everything and do no bother to walk through design logic. For a beginner, you will definitely be frustrated.
4. Quoting is messy. On pp354-355, Ref [75], [76], [79] are the same. ref[77], [78] are the same.
5. Chapter 5 Actor Framework is the main reason, I purchase this book for. The example project "AF Acquisition" presented is against SOID in OOD, as the authors repeated in this book. In this example, Acquisition and Acquisition UI actors are highly coupled when updating graph data on UI at the caller actor side. I would recommend watching Tom McQuillian's Youtube Actor Framework tutorial #9 about this topic. Instead, 7-8 pages later, the authors mentioned, abstract messages can be used to achieve zero coupling but only mentioning for using abstract messages for "start acquisition and stop acquisition, and added the comments saying "if you don't feel comfortable..., don't move on to understanding zero coupling". Wow, as a student, I would like to have my money back or ask for a better instructor/professor assigned.

Much more than just the basics. A must-have for every LabVIEW Developer.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is so much more than just a book about the basics of LabVIEW. Actually the basics and semantics are just a small part of it, there is also a large part about frameworks, architecture and software engineering. I feel like it describes the journey that I made in LabVIEW the past 2 or 3 years. Wish I could have read this book sooner. It's definitely a very good resource for all LabVIEW developers. The real power of the book is that it addresses all levels of LabVIEW developers whether you are a beginner or an expert. Things are explained without being too complicated for beginners or too easy for experts. The very good mixture between basic knowledge and background information keeps it interesting for everybody. The fact that it is written in a narrative style makes it much easier to read than most technical books. A must-have for every LabVIEW developer.

dataflow + measurements + oop + solid + actors = engineering super powers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Book is worth it's weight in gold. I would love to see this book being used to teach and on-board all new engineers programming in LV. The combination of OOP, SOLID Principles, Actor Model with fundamental measurement techniques and understanding data-flow is brilliant. I would recommend the book to text based programmers as well, because understanding how data flows through your application, the completely natural way of creating pure, by value software is a mind-bending and life changing experience. I am the most fortunate puppy that I learned programming graphically and only then moved to text. It feels like having superpowers :D

independent chapters, well-indexed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

Started with Chapter 8 - completely self-contained. Need-driven into the index and readily able to find information. The downside is actually on LabVIEW itself because Linux is not well-supported. That probably means I actually have to buy 'one of the other systems'.

A complete go-to reference to modern LGP understanding

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I remember how essential the first addition of LGP was to my team in the mid-90's. This edition is just such a resource. From the simple origins, through LOOP, frameworks, core principles (the philosophy of SOLID and ISP); unit testing and more. And the accompanying code available on GIT HUB is golden.

Required for all LV people

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2020

Great book that should be read by not only beginners but also for those seasoned veterans of the LabVIEW world. If everyone who coded LabVIEW read this book, I wouldn't have to be frustrated taking over other people's code.

This book is full of things you need to know to reach another level in your development proficiency even if you've been programming for a lot of years with LabVIEW.
This is a must-have!

This is an Aha Moment Book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2020

The previous 4 editions of this book sit on my bookshelf. The first edition was an "Aha Moment" book for me. Dataflow programming did not click for me, then I read Gary Johnson's book and the light bulb went on. This was the moment I realized I could write better applications, faster in LabVIEW. My cherished C language was no longer top dog.

Richard Jennings and Fabiola De la Cueva do not disappoint. The first chapter discusses the history of LabVIEW. It gives context as to how LabVIEW has evolved and matured over it's lifetime (30+ years). The middle chapters covering the basics of LabVIEW contain good information. It is the later chapters that created the Aha Moment for me.

If your LabVIEW application development is becoming disorganized and difficult to manage, this book is for you. The chapters on Object Oriented Programming, Frameworks and Unit Testing are required reading. For me, they got my creative juices flowing. Giving me guidance on how to better design my applications, and test them. This was my Aha Moment.

If you are developing applications in LabVIEW and moving from being a beginner to intermediate developer, get this book. Read it, and start to implement its' recommendations. You will make mistakes and learn from them; that is okay. LabVIEW Graphical Programming is a book to inspire you to think and create.

Thomas McQuillan

A book for all LabVIEW'ers (Beginner to Champion)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book has been written to guide you from the very beginnings of what LabVIEW is, though to an advanced object-oriented framework like the actor framework.
I'm a LabVIEW Architect and was able to find things I didn't know about and got clarification on things which I knew the theory of, but not the practical implementation; in my case, this was converting a large project into individually packed project libraries (PPLs).
The book has been written in a style that's very easy to read and relates well to your own projects.

Gran libro sobre Labview, de intermedio a Avanzado, Recomendado al 100%

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on May 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Este libro en definitiva no es para un principiante ya que algunos temas básicos son obviados, el libro tiene mucho contenido de gran calidad, la narativa de Fabiola es facil de entender y de leer, el libro es en inglés, hay sentido del humor plasmado, eso me encantó.
Por otro lado es interesante que un libro técnico tenga las referencias de sucesos, describa situaciones y vivencias con nombres y apellidos, te da el sentido de la familiaridad de alguien que vivió la historia de LabVIEW desde dentro, eso me encantó, Fabiola te lo cuenta porque lo vivió, conoce los detalles finos de muchas características del lenguaje y de National Instruments, eso enriquece el contenido del libro.
Me hubiera gustado mas contenido de Actor Framework y DQMH, tal vez mas de scripting, pero realmente el libro es muy completo, cubre muchos temas y alguien como yo siempre se queda con ganas de seguir investigando y aprendiendo, afortunadamente para eso son los vínculos y referencias que tiene el libro, para que no te quedes estático y veas que solo es otro escalon mas en el conocimiento.
Recomiendo este libro sin dudarlo, yo lo compré en versión impresa.

Peut-être le meilleur livre sur LabVIEW

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on February 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

Je programme sur LabVIEW depuis quelques années, et ce livre écrit par les champions mondiaux de ce logiciel m'a fait progressé.
Les débutants devront commencer avec d'autres tutoriels, mais pour créer des applications professionnelles, ce livre sera ensuite une référence.
