What Happened at NI Week

[Mark Balla]

Since the majority of LAVA members can't go to NI week I thought I would start this topic so those that did go can share some of the things they learned and experienced at NI week.

If you have pictures, links or information that you got from NI week please share them for all to see.

I have several things to share and I will be posting the AQ (Classes State of the art) video as soon as soon as I can figure out how to get it out of my Droid X.

One of the things that sticks out in my mind is during the LAVA Bar B Queue my company donated a gaming mouse to the raffle which I put some stickers on and named it the (Darren Defeater) see image.

The idea was that it was something that could help speedup LV programming enough to defeat Darren (the LabVIEW Artisan) in the coding challenge.

As it turned out the person that won the prize gave it to Robert the person that actually competed against Darren. He lost of course but seeing my idea come to light made my day. See here for details

The biggest thing I learnt from NI WEEK was to use Twitter - I am serious.

I've had an account for years (so I could register and hold my name) but never used it til last week.

The only problem I had is that not many peeps are following me, so if I tweeted it was kinda pointless.

But it was really helpful finding out what was happening by following others.

Using Twitter helped me stay in touch with what was happening at NI WEEK.
