{"product_id":"the-labview-style-book","title":"The Labview Style Book","description":"Drawing on the experiences of a world-class LabVIEW development organization, The LabVIEW Style Book is the definitive guide to best practices in LabVIEW development.\nLeading LabVIEW development manager Peter A. Blume presents practical guidelines or “rules” for optimizing every facet of your applications: ease of use, efficiency, readability, simplicity, performance, maintainability, and robustness. Blume explains each style rule thoroughly, presenting realistic examples and illustrations. He even presents “nonconforming” examples that show what not to do—and why not. While the illustrations in the print book are in black and white, you can download full-color versions from the publisher web site for free.\n\nCoverage includes Significance of style: How good style improves quality and actually saves time over the full project life cycle Before you code: Configuring your LabVIEW environment, and organizing your files on disk and in the LabVIEW project LabVIEW project specifications: A specialized standard for specifying LabVIEW application requirements Efficient VI layout and development: front panel, block diagram, icons, and connectors Data structures: Choosing data types, efficient use of arrays and clusters, and special considerations with nested data structures Error handling strategies: Trapping and reporting errors for robust and reliable applications Design patterns: Standard VI architectures and application frameworks that promote good style Documentation: Essential rules for source code documentation and streamlining the process Code reviews: Enforcing a style convention using a checklist, the LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit, and peer reviews Appendixes: Convenient glossary and style rules summary\n\nThis book will be indispensable to anyone who wants to develop or maintain quality LabVIEW applications: developers, managers, and end users alike. Additionally, it will also be valuable to those preparing for NI’s Certified LabVIEW Developer or Certified LabVIEW Architect exams, which contain significant content on development style.\n\nForeword by Darren Nattinger\n\nPreface\n\nAcknowledgments\n\nAbout the Author\n\nChapter 1 The Significance of Style\n\nChapter 2 Prepare for Good Style\n\nChapter 3 Front Panel Style\n\nChapter 4 Block Diagram\n\nChapter 5 Icon and Connector\n\nChapter 6 Data Structures\n\nChapter 7 Error Handling\n\nChapter 8 Design Patterns\n\nChapter 9 Documentation\n\nChapter 10 Code Reviews\n\nAppendix A Glossary\n\nAppendix B Style Rules Summary\n\nIndex\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0131458353\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0131458353.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Blume, Peter A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
