Distributing code easily? by Chris Roebuck & Jan Gobel

Sharing and reusing code is one of the easiest ways to improve code quality and delivery performance and yet remains an afterthought for many, just a happy biproduct of the efforts of enthusiasts in the team rather than an organisational strategy.


In this highly interactive 2-person presentation, we will chart the journey through code reuse starting with the simple task of sharing VI’s between two team mates, and the inevitable missing dependencies, through to the effective reuse of libraries across multiple teams, projects and platforms (LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT and TestStand). We will contrast and compare the various methods of sharing / reuse including Packages, Packed Libraries, DLLs and Source Distributions, along with new features of LabVIEW such as LVAddons and how they provide opportunities for a better developer experience. This presentation will utilise a novel 2-person format with several live demo’s and a lot of conversation.
