Presentations

We are passionate about the LabVIEW community and one we way contribute is by giving presentations at NI Week, the CLA Summit, NI Days, User Groups, and our local Software Craftsmanship Workshops.  As we create these presentations we will post them here for download.  If you would like to use one of these presentations at a local user group feel free to do so, just let us know as we would like to meet you. 

 
 

Applying a SOLID Framework for Cleaner Code

The Composed Systems MVA framework is a SOLID and open source extension of the LabVIEW Actor Framework.  Users of this framework will never have to write another actor core event handling structure again!  Learn to easily create and manage nested model and user interface hierarchies using dependency injection to aid In project organization. In addition to a high-level overview of features and capabilities, this presentation showcases a sample project. Source code is on the Composed Systems Bitbucket.
