I didn't find this book helpful at all. It is neither for beginners nor for advanced Labview programmers. If you are somewhere in middle and want to enjoy reading a book about labview like reading a fiction, this may be the right book for you.

If you are really looking for a book which you really need to learn something about Labview, this book is not that one. Continue your search!

The only LabVIEW book you'll ever need - 2001-08-27

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.

This book has little to offer for those that need to do programs in Labview. The first four chapters are useless. If you want a good book get "Labview for Everyone" it will help you to understand Labview.

This book is good for Labview intermediate programmers. It sort of seems hard for a beginner. It does not go into great depths and tricks of programming in labview. if you are in the learning curve this books adds more to that. It is very limited in certain aspects, like real time programming, and does not explain much about DAQ mx. This book is great for people as reference but I guess there lots more to be added.
It did help me intially as I got into more programming, it would not help me.

As a somewhat seaseoned but basic level user of LABVIEW (I have programmed in Labview off and on for data acquisition for 15 years) I found this book very difficult to use. I have no doubt that the authors are experts in LABVIEW. But they also assume their readers are as well.

As a result they leave out key parts of codelets on their diagrams in G. For example in describing Events, they fail to talk about where the "STOP" is put. The first diagram of a Dynamic Event, Fig.3.22, Page 86, has incorporated the stop but no reference is made to its existance in the text. Similarly, Fig. 6.4, page 185, references a Control Array for dynamic registration but again they fail to explain it in the text. There are many more similar examples.

This book has excellent codelets that I would like to use but have had difficutly because of these seemingly trivial but critical omissions. If this problem were fixed in latter revisions (mine is probably a 1st) this could be a really outstanding book.
