Live Demos, Write Code, No Slides
Our training courses are unlike any other courses in the world.
There are essentially no slides - they lack the dynamic of live programming.
You will NOT be reading from manuals, ever - that's inefficient and ineffective.
Instead, we begin from first principles and build up clear, foundational mental models.
We then demonstrate those concepts by live programming from scratch in the language/environment of focus.
At each stage you'll have time to develop practical, working code to cement your comprehension and skills.
And we'll conquer everything together with low stress, high energy, and infectious intellectual curiosity.
So Much Technology, We Get It
There are a dizzying number of ways to learn new skills in software engineering today.
The pace of software innovation has accelerated since the mid-sixties, and now every segment of the economy
relies on software to execute their operations and enable the next generation of innovation. With the sheer scope of
software tools, languages, and processes, it can be overwhelming for anyone to know where to dedicate time and energy to grow their skills.
We have dedicated ourselves to ensuring you walk away with the skills you need to tackle real-world challenges.
Not Just Theory, It Has To Work
Sixclear's instructors recognize that our students need to apply the skills they learn directly to their work.
We work with many of the Fortune 500 automating R&D and production processes, and help guide
our national laboratories on how to best apply software solutions to their scientific and engineering efforts.
Our architect-level instructors bring that experience and expertise to the classroom to help you apply new software skills directly to your applications and projects.

Purpose: to deep-dive into LabVIEW and empower you to efficiently create and modify robust applications in LabVIEW incorporating real-world data.
After completing this course you'll be able to develop small applications from scratch and modify key aspects of medium-sized applications.
Topics: the fundamentals of programming, the dataflow paradigm, data types, arrays, loops, case (and other) structures, subVIs (functions in LabVIEW), file I/O, error handling, state machines, and much more.
There's much more here than in a typical first course in LabVIEW!
LabVIEW Fundamentals Two
Duration: 2 days
Purpose: to take a giant leap forward in LabVIEW for developing and deploying standalone applications incorporating more sophisticated design patterns, data acquisition, instrument control, and more.
After completing this course you'll be able to develop medium-sized applications from scratch and modify key aspects of large applications.
Topics: advanced event handling, design patterns such as producer-consumer, variables, type definitions, advanced file I/O, property & invoke nodes (and VI Server in general), data acquisition (ex. DAQmx), instrument control (ex. NI-VISA), executables and installers, and much more.
This will all be easier than perhaps it sounds as we carefully break down the topics and compose practical applications together during exercises.
LabVIEW Large Application Development
Duration: 3 days
Purpose: to take another big step forward in LabVIEW for building large applications in LabVIEW which take your skills to expert-level heights.
After completing this course you'll be able to design, develop, and maintain large applications and code bases in a multi-developer team environment.
