I put this list in the order I think would be best for a new LabVIEW programmer. My goal would be to be able to point someone new to this list and have then go though it during onboarding. Add to this discussion if you think I left something out or if you think the order should be different. Let's come up with the best list we can for both those entirely new to programming and the accomplished programmer just new to LabVIEW. --[[User:Q|Q]] ([[User talk:Q|talk]]) 19:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC) | I put this list in the order I think would be best for a new LabVIEW programmer.

I put this list in the order I think would be best for a new LabVIEW programmer. My goal would be to be able to point someone new to this list and have then go though it during onboarding. Add to this discussion if you think I left something out or if you think the order should be different. Let's come up with the best list we can for both those entirely new to programming and the accomplished programmer just new to LabVIEW. --Q (talk) 19:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

- This is one of the reasons I'm contributing to the wiki :)- In my experience, transitioning programmers want to know the difference between what they are used to and how LabVIEW compares to that. Unfortunately this can mean different things to different people. In general, however, they want comparison charts, reference lists, and tips and tricks. Novice programmers on the other hand want to understand the basics and see quick results (otherwise they get demotivated quickly). This is very hard to balance. I suggest to have multiple sections on this portal, perhaps based on the Core 1-3 training levels? So one section would provide links to pages that aid in the training exercises or extend on the knowledge provided in those lessons. --Logmanoriginal (talk) 20:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
