Labview Books for 8.5

Proven Active Veterans,

 

Does anyone know of a good current book that is based on Labview 8.5 which goes into advance and intermediate LabVIEW topics?

 

Regards,

 

SS

I have looked around and have not found one specific to LV 8.5.  My personal favorite is LabVIEW Graphical Programming by Gary W. Johnson & Richard Jennings because of its good mix of topics and advanced concepts.  Hope this helps.

I am not a PAV but I'll add my 2 cents.

I like "LabVIEW for Everyone" third edition is the most up to date text but does not cover LV 8.5.

But if you handle everything in that book, then the release notes and a couple of posting to the forums should fill in the gaps.

I was hoping that would be written a book for Object-Oriented programming, specific for Labview.

It seems strange that noone has written such a book. (as far as i know).

I am not familiar with OOP and i am having trouble understanding its advantages...

I just bought LabVIEW Advanced Programming Techniques (Rick Bitter).  It's a recent update (2007) which covers the Project Window, Shared Variable, .NET and OOP.  There's a lot of ActiveX stuff too.  I literally opened it this morning but it looks quite detailed and no-nonsense.  Good reviews at Amazon as well.

I also picked up Blume's LabVIEW Style Book.  That looks excellent.

The LabVIEW Style Book by Blume is very good, but does not include anything on OO.

One caveat on Bitter's LabVIEW Advanced Programming Techniques:

The CD of examples is all written in 5.1.  I can open them with 7.1.1 but not with 8.5.  I suppose I could upgrade them but it's a bit of an oversight that the author would re-write the book and yet not bother providing updated examples.

Hi,

 

I am looking on the web for an Authors website.  Is the situation with "labview advanced programming techniques" still the same in that there are no upgraded VI's and there is no authors website.  It's too bad if this is the case.

 

I don't own labview 7.1.1

Success.  Used my 8.2 as intermediary to open older files.  Enjoying the chapter on ActiveX of Advanced Programming Techniques.
