Exactly one year has passed since my first post to ExpressionFlow on March 18th, 2007. The first year has been very exciting. My first initial intention was to found a blog as a channel to publish my LabVIEW and visual programming related concepts and ideas. I started by introductory posts on then recently released LabVIEW object-oriented programming [1,2,3,4,5]. On May 2007 long time LabVIEW veteran Rolf Kalbermatter from CIT Engineering joined me as an author and posted an extremely interesting article series External code in LabVIEW [6,7,8]. On July the number authors grew by one as Anthony Lukindo from MezIntel joined the ExpressionFlow authors. Also he has posted very interesting articles on using MS SQL Server with LabVIEW [9,10] and on LabVIEW queued state-machine architecture [11]. On July I posted my first video blog post LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming Introductory Walktrough. The article comparing Erlang and LabVIEW concurrency models was a success and got a rather nice position on Reddit Programming. Inspired by this success ExpressionFlow recently released Active VI Toolkit that provides Erlang style concurrency model for LabVIEW developers.

I would like to thank all ExpressionFlow readers and authors for this tremendous year. I hope you have enjoyed the past year as much as I have. I wish you enjoyable moments with us for the forthcoming year.
