Object-Oriented Design and Programming in LabVIEW
The Object-Oriented Design and Programming in LabVIEW Course covers the fundamental concepts of object-oriented design and programming and then demonstrates how those concepts are implemented in LabVIEW. Object-oriented design (OOD) encourages cleaner interfaces between sections of code and results in code that is easier to debug and scales better for large programming teams. Object-oriented programming is the development of code in a language that enforces object-oriented design principles.
