NI Week T-5 Days

NI week is getting closer! I didn't have a lot of time to get excited about NI Week today, that 'work' stuff got in the way. It was mostly metrics and Diversity Maturity Model review. Very unexciting, but it's part of the job.

I did talk with our NI rep yesterday. Joel Garner. He's a good guy, NI all the way. He keeps pushing LabVIEW and pointed out a lot of good LabVIEW seminars at NI Week. LabVIEW is NI's big thing and main product. Unfortunately, for real programmers, it's a paradigm shift and a different way of thinking. For real programmers, it's another language in a format that is not really wanted. I'm not really going to say much more about LabVIEW at the moment, but I'm sure there will be more blogs about LabVIEW in the future.

Joel, the NI rep, talked with several of us about what will be going on at NI Week. He had some suggestions on seminars and let us in on which seminar's will most likely be less interesting and why. One of the more interesting one's are "LabVIEW, The Good, Bad, and the Ugly", he says that's one of the more lively sessions.

One of the main things is all the NI experts will be around at different times so we need to get our questions and our suggestions together.

They have activities every evening, I guess it's to keep all us 'wild and crazy' engineers busy so that roam the streets of Austin.

I'll have more interesting information about NI Week, tomorrow.
