2.3 How Can Good Design Leverage These Advantages?

   

---

We feel that the real power of LabVIEW has yet to be fully expressed because of design weaknesses, not language weaknesses. The techniques described here will help you to take productivity, maintainability, and reusability to the next level.

Generally, you are not paid for your prowess and in-depth knowledge of a language and its tools, but rather for solving your customer's problem. This book will demonstrate how good design can make your life simpler and your software better by using LabVIEW as it was designed and not forcing it to do something it isn't designed for, or introducing half- understood techniques from the advanced palette. While the techniques described here will bring instant advantages to you by simplifying your source code, the real benefits will be felt a year or two after you first start applying the techniques. This will be when you've tamed the complexity beast and you stand atop your software like a programming colossus.
