This week we sat down with John Giannangeli, who is not only a Certified LabVIEW Architect but also a Certified TestStand Developer and Professional Instructor. He is an avid practitioner of software engineering including specialties in revision control, issue tracking, and requirements traceability. During this conversation, we talked about how John and his team have been helping solve challenges in Medical, Aerospace, Renewable Energy, Manufacturing, and other markets since 1993. John and Sam share their experiences on choosing the right tools to use for each project and how to present that information to clients.

Nancy Henson is no stranger to the community. She is well known and loved, not only for her ideas on how to bring creativity into the LabVIEW world but also for her willingness to engage in tough conversations on how to improve the language.

LabVIEW Champions, understanding the philosophy of the code you are using, and welcoming coders of many languages are some of the topics of our discussion today.

Hello and Welcome Back to the LabVIEW Experiment! Today we have the honor of speaking with a long-time friend and colleague Dave Thomson. He is an incredible LabVIEW developer, an intelligent business operator, and a champion of the LabVIEW community. Today we dive into a host of issues from what it takes to solve complex problems, to what NI is doing to solve problems within our beloved code, and reminiscing about the good ole days!

Who doesn’t need a good sparring partner? Jörg Hampel is one of my favorite people on the planet, and one of the reasons for that is our differing opinions. Our conversations force us to grow and think about things in a way that allows us to find new solutions.

Speaking of new solutions, what is the “best” way to do anything? What makes it the “best”? Your “best” practices could be holding you back from the creative solutions that make everything better.

The one, the only, THE Steve Watts! Today we sit down with some whom I deeply admire. I have worked closely with GDevCon to create GDevConNA, we have viewpoints that align and, of course, differing views. We caught up in Amsterdam during GDevCon 2021, outside his incredibly unique hotel.

Where is the community going? What are we building? How can we communicate better? How can our Teams Operate better? These questions and more, are on today's episode of the LabVIEW Experiment!

I've known Bill Welch for YEARS and he is an unbelievably talented, and intelligent LabVIEW engineer. Today, we get the opportunity to sit down and discuss the core subject of the Podcast, "How do you define and handle failure?". The number one goal of the podcast is to encourage YOU, the experienced or the new software engineer to try new things. Take a breath, zoom out, problem-solve, and try to make something AMAZING! I hope you enjoyed the conversation, I know I did! You can catch up with Bill Welch here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ Web Site HTTPS://www.scenicsystems.net Email: [email protected] And of course, you can find Sam at: https://www.sasworkshops.com/ https://www.thelabviewexperiment.com/

While in Amsterdam for GDevCon, I was able to catch up with Shane O'Neil, who is hands down one of my favorite people on the planet.

We had a short window to sit down at chat at lunchtime before his plane was scheduled to whisk him away, but we had a heavy-hitting conversation. Heavily centered around the importance that community plays in our industry, and different thoughts and observations about how the community has changed over time.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did, and I'd love to hear your feedback on how we can continue to build and improve our community!

Today we are talking with Derrick Bommarito, Senior Technical Support Engineer at National Instruments, about what it means to dabble, experiment, and learn all of the skills that WORLD CLASS Engineers have.

WELCOME BACK! To the LabVIEW Experiment! Today I am very excited to Speak with Stefan Lemmens, a member of our Mastermind (https://www.sasworkshops.com/mastermind) and a prolific engineer! Stefan and I dive into the weeds of how best to deploy a team on a project, his Conan Project, and I express my desire for a giant experiment!
