What about a git based manager for your source code, zip files, binaries (PPLs), etc...? For a while I've been trying to write this post, but several reasons kept me from finishing the write.

Failed to Compile

JSON Pretty Print – revisited
Last week I was surfing the internet (does anyone use this expression yet?) and I stumbled upon a project for minifying JSON in multiple languages, and LabVIEW wasn't there yet. The Problem As for the most acquainted with JSON, you probably already know that comments are not cited in the RFC or ECMA Standards, and … Continue reading JSON Pretty Print – revisited
