Introduction6:38
Learn to design professional MATLAB App Designer graphical user interfaces, using drag-and-drop components, callback functions, and app properties, enable keyboard input, then build and compile standalone applications.
What to expect5:41

Introducing our first project results2:57
A first look on how does the app designer looks like11:48
Creating callback functions6:32
Drag components into the canvas, enable show grid for alignment, rename components in the component browser, and create a callback function for push buttons; test in the command window.
Creating callback functions (Part 2)3:29
Creating properties8:00
Creating a logic for the decimal points8:05
Reducing repetitive logical structures via .m functions8:53
Reducing repetitive logical structures via .m functions (Part II)1:51
Creating a logic for the delete push button (part I)3:36
Creating a logic for the delete push button (part II)5:16
Develop a delete button logic for a MATLAB GUI that supports integers and decimals, updating the edit field after each deletion and correctly handling the decimal point.
Creating a logic for the operation push buttons6:30
Using .m functions to avoid writting repetivive callback functions4:44
Taking inputs from a hardware keyboard into our Graphical User Interface14:00
Creating a logic for the Enter push button9:32
Compiling into a stand alone desktop application (part I)7:16
Compiling into a stand alone desktop application (part II)1:43
Compiling into a stand alone desktop application (part III)1:15
Complete the stand-alone desktop application install by downloading and installing the MATLAB runtime, then installing the app, verify the final installation screen, and note the desktop icon.

Showing the results of the module's project2:46
Develop a MATLAB GUI to simulate projectile motion with air resistance, plotting drag-influenced trajectories and updating in real time as mass, area, drag, density, and launch parameters change.
Introduction2:50
Develop a MATLAB GUI to explore projectile motion with drag versus no drag by adjusting parameters and plotting two curves, with Euler method solutions and an Excel reference for validation.
Projectile motion with air resistance mathematical model and the Euler's method12:08
projectile_motion.m explanation6:02
Draggin the components on our graphical user interface7:39
Using callback function with ChangingValueFcn12:43
Limiting the axis of the plotting window3:52
Showing the results with all the callback functions coded1:59
Compiling the project1:59
Using the code as a stand alone desktop application2:53

Introduction3:52
What's linear regression modeling?7:42
Explore how linear regression modeling uses features to predict values, train models with data, and interpret results, including predicting house prices from distance to subways, stores, and age.
Linear regression modeling using Matlab8:12
Building a LRM function3:34
Showing the user the data that they are working with1:01
Learn to display the data users are working with by outputting and saving X and Y alongside the model, enabling visualization in a MATLAB graphical user interface.
uigetfile function3:59
app.UITable8:38
Using properties to transmit information from one callback function to another10:07
Correcting a mistake in the previous class (my apologies)2:12
Making predictions with our model6:50
Develop a MATLAB graphical user interface that lets users edit a data table, load new data, and press a push button to run the model's prediction and display the result.
msgbox5:11
Compiling our application1:29
Compile a MATLAB app by configuring app details, setting the name and author, and packaging a desktop application with an icon, splash screen, mandatory MATLAB function, and main file.
Installing into our computer1:26
Running our application from the desktop2:04

Description

''The graphical user interface is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and audio indicator such as primary notation, instead of text-based user interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces which require commands to be typed on a computer keyboard.'' From Wikipedia.

Being able to develop graphical user interfaces will allow you to create applications that are easier to use for your every day user and thus, your work will be able to spread to a greater number of user in lesser time having a greater impact.

If you want to reach more users, specialy those that are not quite familiar with programming, you definetly need to have some knowledge in graphical user interface developing, for it is the only way in which the great majority of user out there has ever interacted with a piece of software ever.

Matlab's app designer is built with the intention of making GUI developing easy. It's graphical approach to drag and position components, alogside the way by which it walks us through the callback functions makes it the best option out there for programming enthusiast, engineers and scientists out there that need their applications to be user by more people than just themselves.

This course is meant for intermediate Matlab programmer that would like to take their knowledge to the next level and be able to reach users not accustomed to text based programms.
