Putnam has been working as an engineer since 1987 starting with General Electric in the Syracuse, NY area, predominantly as a Test Engineer. Early in his career he used a number of languages to perform this role. In 2002 Putnam started his own company, North Shore Technology, Inc., and has been making his living developing LabVIEW programs since. The projects range from a test system that recorded the data from drop testing safety harnesses, to Real Time FPGA control of the output of a submarine sonar system. Now, after 30 years of LabVIEW he is winding down, pondering "retirement" whatever that means.
Sam and Putnam talk about how running a business is more than being a good engineer.

Chris Cilino has a passion for technology, teamwork, and mentorship. In his 20+ year career, he has employed all three in the context of using LabVIEW in creating applications and engaging with the LabVIEW community.
Chris started his career at National Instruments in Applications Engineering, then Software Development in DAQ R&D (where he got his CLA in 2014), and then finally in LabVIEW marketing where he owned programs such as the LabVIEW Champions.
Chris spent the next three years at Cirrus Logic as the LabVIEW Framework architect. During his time at Cirrus, he attained the status of LabVIEW Champion in 2017, and then passed the Center of Excellence audit in 2018. He’s given numerous presentations at the CLA Summits and distributed my toolkits for use and most recently I've joined DMC as a project engineering and LabVIEW Consultant.
In parallel, he started GCentral, a non-profit organization with the mission of improving the LabVIEW Community's engineering capability by removing barriers to collaboration.
In this episode Sam and Chris talk about the robust nature of the LabVIEW Community and how our developers have great opportunities ahead of them.

Sam and Jeff talk about what it was like getting started in LabVIEW and how they determine if it is appropriate to rewrite or refactor code, pulling from many experiments throughout their careers.
Our conversation this week is with Malcolm Meyers. He holds both CLD and CLA Certifications and runs his own consultancy, AMH Test Systems in the UK. Malcolm talks about his experiences with his first LabVIEW consultancy and how he believes that being good at LabVIEW isn’t good enough on its own and it requires much more to run a business.
Sam and Malcolm share ideas about successful business practices, client interaction, and how they each feel about LabVIEW Certifications.

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!

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!

Jim Kring and Sam have been friends and colleagues for a while now, and both are huge fans of having a community around them. While it is understandable to be concerned about sharing all of your programming secrets, this duo understands the value that open discussion and iteration bring to the process of innovation.
Allen C. Smith is a legend in the LabVIEW community. The chance is high that you’ve heard him speak, had him answer a question, or interacted with him at some point in your LabVIEW journey. Allen takes us back in time as he walks us through his “failures” and successes on the way to greatness.
Welcome to the LabVIEW Experiment! Turning LabVIEW Developers into LabVIEW Experts,
One Episode at a Time! We believe in the idea that failure is a step in the process to become successful.
What are we discussing today? Today, we are speaking with Enrique Noe Arias of Panther Console out of Mexico. Enrique is truly in love with what LabVIEW is capable of doing, and beyond that, he is dedicated to creating a better developer experience. Sam and Enrique discuss the LabVIEW Community, Events, and of course Technical Issues facing LabVIEW coders today!
