Programming and Application Development

The MATLAB^® environment is well suited to rapid prototyping and application development. The interactive programming environment, built-in math functions, toolboxes, editing and debugging tools, and deployment options all contribute to reducing your overall development time.

By using the built-in math functions and the many specialized functions contained within our toolboxes, MATLAB can significantly reduce the time it takes you to develop prototypes. In addition to integrated editing and debugging tools, MATLAB provides a performance profiler to help you further optimize your code when programming in MATLAB.

Building applications around complex algorithms and graphics is easier than ever with the GUI builder, GUIDE. GUIDE was redesigned in MATLAB 6 to save you time. It offers all the drag and drop interface options you would expect, such as text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, listboxes, sliders, pop-up menus, frames and more.

When you're ready to deploy your application, the MathWorks offers a number of different options that allow you to either convert or interface your MATLAB application to other environments including C/C++ and the Web. MATLAB is the most productive development environment for creating scientific and engineering applications because it offers powerful tools for every step in the process to reduce your overall development time.
