This is so much more than just a book about the basics of LabVIEW. Actually the basics and semantics are just a small part of it, there is also a large part about frameworks, architecture and software engineering. I feel like it describes the journey that I made in LabVIEW the past 2 or 3 years. Wish I could have read this book sooner. It's definitely a very good resource for all LabVIEW developers. The real power of the book is that it addresses all levels of LabVIEW developers whether you are a beginner or an expert. Things are explained without being too complicated for beginners or too easy for experts. The very good mixture between basic knowledge and background information keeps it interesting for everybody. The fact that it is written in a narrative style makes it much easier to read than most technical books. A must-have for every LabVIEW developer.

Great Book. If you are a LabVIEW Developer you should read this. You will learn something, and it will probably be very useful and save you a lot if time.

Not a beginner book. More of an intermediate/advanced book. Assumes you already know a bit about LabVIEW.

That said there are some great tips and tricks that will make you a more efficient LabVIEW Developer and help you write better code. It starts with a good history of LabVIEW if you are into that. Then there is a chapter on Data Acquisition that's really good. It dives pretty deep into the hardware side of things. The rest of the book has a lot of emphasis on software engineering processes and tools. There are chapters on OOP design, Frameworks, Unit Testing and Working in Teams. The last chapter is an interesting chapter on MQTT messaging.
