Create Apps in MATLAB with App Designer

This is a basic course on creating apps in MATLAB using its graphical user interface utility called App Designer. The App Designer is the next generation, i.e., the future of designing apps in MATLAB. The App Designer contains many new design components that are absent in the conventional app designing tool called GUIDE. The course is designed so that a person with the basic knowledge of MATLAB is able to transform his code into a beautiful user interface and app. 

The motivation for the course, i.e., why should take it, is my observation that students and people put a lot of effort into writing the code but little on its appearance. By learning this course, you will easily transform your code into a well-understood piece of software that the users will find useful to interact with. All you need is motivation to learn and a basic understanding of MATLAB, such as variables, matrices, and others. The course contains 1+ hours of recorded lectures. Every lecture contains a demonstration of the concepts, and the codes are included with the course. 

 The following are the outlines of the course

Segment 1: Basics of App Designer

Segment 2: Tips and Tricks for Effective use of App Designer

Segment 3: Coding GUI's

Segment 4: Advanced Techniques

Segment 5: Sample Projects with App Designer

What are the requirements?

We will start from the very beginning in this course. Although I will try to focus on very basic constructs, I will expect some know-how of using MATLAB, such as variables, matrices, and some commonly used operations on the variables. Moreover, you should be familiar with the working environment of MATLAB and should know what the command line is, what is .m file is, etc. I am also expecting that you should have already installed Matlab Software R2016a or R2016b. Please visit the Mathworks official website for a free trial of the software. The majority of universities offer a free student version of the software, so if you are a student, contact your university for availability. You can purchase the student version directly from Mathworks. Please note that I am using its R2016a version. 

What am I going to get from this course?

• You should be able to work with graphical user interface controls such as text boxes, buttons, check boxes, and others to make GUI for your code.

• At the end of the course, you will be a confident user of the Matlab utility called App Designer for making GUIs for your programs.

• You will be able to ask any question. I will answer it ASAP.

• You will be able to create your GUI's. If you have any problem, I will help you.

• You will get complete source codes for lectures.

• Regular course updates: new lectures, applications, and documents.
