Product Description
A Guide to MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming is the first book to deliver broad coverage of the documented and undocumented object-oriented features of MATLAB®. Unlike the typical approach of other resources, this guide explains why each feature is important, demonstrates how each feature is used, and promotes an understanding of the interactions between features.

Assuming an intermediate level of MATLAB programming knowledge, the book not only concentrates on MATLAB coding techniques but also discusses topics critical to general software development. It introduces fundamentals first before integrating these concepts into example applications. In the first section, the book discusses eight basic functions: constructor, subsref, subsasgn, display, struct, fieldnames, get, and set. Building on the previous section, it explores inheritance topics and presents the Class Wizard, a powerful MATLAB class generation tool. The final section delves into advanced strategies, including containers, static variables, and function fronts.

With more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing object-oriented software, the expert author has developed an accessible and comprehensive book that aids readers in creating effective object-oriented software using MATLAB.


Reviews


Dimitri is right, it is obsolete
I agree with Dimitri. This book was published in 2007, but was written for Matlab 5 to 7.1. Matlab is now on 7.6 and uses a classdef .m file to create a class.

I had created some of my own classes from the Matlab help using classdef command and so was completely confused when I first started looking at the code in this book because it doesn't use classdef. Now I understand my confusion, the book is way out of date.

Obsolete
Quite simply, changes to Matlab's OOP features in the 2007 and 2008 releases made this book 100% irrelevant.

a GUIDE to oop in MATLAB
I have been developing a MATLAB toolbox incorporating OOP-Principles.
It has been quite painful, the MATLAB documentation covers the functions but provides little guidance.
This is a guide, it addresses many things that had been making me crazy, like...
- what should the relationship between get/set and subsref/subsasgn be?
- is nargout really as broken as it seems?
- what functions need to be overloaded to get MATLAB-like behavior?
- what functions can be overloaded to provide enhanced MATLAB-like behavior?
- how is inheritance done?
This book has little fluff, it sticks to its objectives throughout.
My only complaint is that there appears to be no website dedicated to it.
