Customer Reviews

The only LabVIEW book you'll ever need

I've purchased all three editons of Gary Johnson's LabVIEW book and haven't been disappointed yet. This is one of those rare books that lives up to its hype. The writing is clear and engaging, without condescending to the more advanced user. If you're using or learning LabVIEW, check this book out.

Great Book, Especially for the Working Person

For those of you who do not have this book, this book is one of the top Labview books available. It goes very quickly through the basics, and focuses more on building actual applications in Labview. Many pointers on how to maximize resources are through out this book. It saved me many hours of trial and error. The book reads as if an articulate person is speaking to you. Very no nonsense.For example, there's a comprehensive chapter on actually developing a Labview VI for use. It goes through the requirements, the development (internally and also the user interface) and the release of the VI. Further, it has a nice section on DAQ.This book is more or less a rehash of the old book, with some upgrades, but for those who don't have the old one, read it's reviews. I wasn't terribly disappointed with the omission of Labview 6i stuff, since the content extended beyond it. You'll be making a good investment in this book.

Excellent starting book

If are a new LabVIEW programmer, this is an excellent book to read first. It starts with the basics and goes through everything you need to build a simple application. After this one and a bit of experience, LV Advanced Programming Techniques is a great second, especially the section on state machines.I did a bit of digging, and this one seems to be a bit of a standard first book for a good reason.

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 on. He covers some very advanced topics that are practical to many of us. His writing style allow for easy reading. The CD that is included has so many VI's that you will now know where to start
