Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
and John Arkontaky, Assistant Editor
Talking to Engineering Hall of Famer Lewis Counts on the eve of his retirement after 30 years at Analog Devices, I found "Mr. Analog" (as he is known by many at ADI) wasn't waxing nostalgic. After all, the key to Counts' successes at ADI was always an "out with the old and in with the new attitude"—a belief that engineering means there is always a better way.

National Instruments' LabVIEW is over 20 years old but most programmers have not had the benefit of using it. Most UML (Unified Modeling Language) programmers tend to deal with text-based programming languages, with C and Visual Basic at the top of the heap. As such, there are many books about programming style and methodology for these platforms. If you are starting with LabVIEW, make sure this book is in your library.
