- [Continuous Integration: What it is, what it's not, and what it could be](https://hampel-soft.com/blog/continuous-integration/) - Continuous Integration (or CI) lacks adoption in the NI ecosystem, as do many other advanced software processes and tools that are standard in other programming languages. Either due to actual technical reasons or because of the team size and proficiency, and because of the way a typical LabVIEW project is run. Why is that? And does it have to be that way?

- [CLA Summit 2015 in Rome](https://hampel-soft.com/blog/cla-summit-2015-in-rome/) - Travelling to Rome to the European CLA Summit turned out to be extraordinarily valuable to me, both in terms of meeting new people and learning new stuff about LabVIEW.

- [Motivation](https://hampel-soft.com/blog/motivation/) - There are various definitions of success, and the ones I like revolve around the topic of happiness. Having fun doesn't hurt, no matter the situation! And work should be fun: We stand up for what's fun, we enjoy what's fun, and we do stuff well if it's fun. And without even noticing, motivation sneaked up and made us do our work better. And I love better!

What we did not anticipate however, was the necessity of completely digitising it! Our latest meeting had a record attendance, informative presentations about DIAdem and error handling and of course Snake on an FPGA!
- [State Machine Parsing](https://hampel-soft.com/blog/state-machine-parsing/) - When one of our customer projects required a proper state machine, Steve Watts was generous enough to provide SSDC’s rock-solid template, which I used as a springboard. Building on top of that, our brand-new State Machine Parser is now able to generate State Chart Diagrams from the actual source code! The icing on the cake? Being featured on Steve’s Random Ramblings on LabVIEW Design blog!

The LabVIEW certifications are part of my plan to become a LabVIEW expert and, of course, my boss likes it when I engage in further education. Beside my personal motivations, with the CLD you get a nice proof of your LabVIEW skills. You're not a bloody beginner anymore and at least it's a cool badge in the NI forum. In this post I want to write a little bit about my way to the CLD and give you a lead to find your own way.
