Tuesday Part 1

Today I came to the show hoping for some kick-ass presentations. I was dissapointed. There was however an exception to this. The presentation by Brian Powell (creating LV add-ons) was interesting. He actually revealed a lot about the future features of LabVIEW without actually saying anything. Every time we would ask him a question he would say: "That's a great idea, now wouldn't that be great if LabVIEW could do that" with a smile on his face. He seemed like a nice guy. The meat of the presentation was pretty much stuff that I have heard before but the questions and feature requests from the audience was pretty good.

The Seminar on using LabVIEW's application builder and the Wise installation application was a big dissapointment. Presented by someone at VI Technology. I was hoping that it would be presented by an NI Engineer. I wanted to find out more about the undocumented merge modules. It seems like the presenter just went through the same exercise that I did a few weeks back with Installshield.

OpenG Sessions at NI Week

OpenG will be presenting two back-to-back sessions on Wednesday from 11:30 AM to 12:15 PM and from 12:30 PM to 1:20 PM in Mezzanine Room 6. The first presentation is titled OpenG Development System Tools and will be a high-level presentation showing a user's experience with the OpenG Tools in the LabVIEW Development Environment. There will be a demonstration of OpenG Package Manager's integration with the online package repository and directory service (think Window's update, but better). The second presentation is titled OpenG LabVIEW Development Process Model and will go into specific details about the process used in the ongoing develop and reuse of OpenG Tools and libraries. We've left a short 15 minute break in between the two sessions so that folks can run to the Expo floor and grab some food, before coming back to the second session.

OpenG Presentation II - OpenG LabVIEW Development Process Model

Title: OpenG LabVIEW Development Process Model
Description: Developing LabVIEW reuse tools and libraries is a critical step in the maturation of a LabVIEW developer or development group. However, because LabVIEW bundles VI source code with a VI's executable code, it is easy to improperly manage project files. Also, managing project source files, libraries, and other dependencies across several projects can be a tough problem to tackle. Find out which tools, strategies, and methodologies OpenG developers are using to address these problems and how you can use them, today, in your development work.

Date & Time: Wednesday 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Track: OpenG
Speaker(s): Jim Kring
Location: Mezzanine Room 6
The Mezzanine level is hard to find. This is not on the top floor. Take stairs to the second floor. If you need to, ask a conference attendant for directions.
