After ordering shipping was fast, but refund was slow.
I ordered books 2 tmies. The first I wanted to order 2 books (one of each)
however, for whatever reason 3 books were sent. I want to return and refund one book. I have returned one book for one week, but so far I have not received any thing.
However, my second order was received fast.
I do not know what I can say or comment.

I mainly wished to just make a GUI interface, but then I found i needed some graphics and found this book to be very helpful in both categories. For the GUI section, there were many options available for making a GUI and all options were clearly laid out from the use of global variables, to using GUIDE.

This is not a book for beginners who want to learn MATLAB or GUI. If you already know how to run MATLAB and know some GUI, then you may find this book useful. It will improve your graph and GUI skill. If you have no knowledge on how GUI is created, this is not a book for you.

I’d been using Matlab for several years (completely self-taught) and wanted to learn how to set up a simple GUI for some routine tasks I was performing at work. I borrowed this book from a coworker, but plan to buy it in the near future. I have the “Mastering Matlab 7″ book, which only covered how to use individual GUI elements. There wasn’t much in the way of how to structure a GUI program, which is the niche I feel this book handles nicely, even going into a bit of animation type stuff, which is handy for using the mouse to interact with a plot, among other things.
After reading the GUI chapter in this book, I was able to create a simple GUI without much difficulty. I was happy to see that the old functions that I had previously written required only very minor changes to interface with the GUI. Understanding the structure of a Matlab GUI was the key that this book excells at in my opinion.
Now that I’ve made a “decent” GUI (albeit simple, I’m not a software engineer), I just clone and modify it for the next GUI that I need. This book will definitely provide a good jumping-off point for GUI development. The rest you can learn by doing.
I would most definitely say that a thorough understanding Matlab’s “handle graphics” is a REQUIRED pre-requisite before trying to do GUI operation.

This book does a good job of going into the details of handles and properties to allow the reader to get a good feel of how to use the tools available. There are also good examples in the book. I have worked with quite a few different languages so I found it very enjoyable to read, but I don’t know that a beginner will have a good feel for the execution of code associated with a user action (ie Buttondwnfcn) or not. I think if they take time with the examples they can get a good understanding though. Excellent book!
