Now, I am still a novice when it comes to programming. I believe MATLAB is definitely a great programming tool, one that I can play with, particularly, when I have free time.
I would love to hear from all answerers, what are the ways that can make one proficient in this field?

9 years on and my question continues to get responses.. Though I've not used Matlab since leaving University, I can attest to the fact that getting your hands dirty (read: hands-on) is almost certain to get you good at any programming language (I'm self-taught in Python that way). Also, plenty of online references/materials that one can easily access these days. Good luck to those who are starting to use MATLAB, you can do it!
We have a Signal Processing Onramp tutorial on the tutorials page. I believe it was added fairly recently.
There are also MATLAB and Simulink based books on the subject of digital signal processing. At least a couple of the nearly 300 books in that category seem to be textbooks and/or targeted at introducing MATLAB and the topic to newer users.
Some of the examples for DSP System Toolbox linked from the Examples "button" on the Support section of this website (look for the light bulb) may be useful if you have specific tasks in mind.
12. Write a MATLAB program to find the Fibonacci series using recursive functions?
Well that is a good way to become more familiar with the concept of recursion, but would you really say that it is one of the best ways to master MATLAB?
Is there ways where I can learn dsp for matlab, or communications. Like step by step explanantions.
study the material carefully and ask somone who's good at matlab in face to face so you can learn some exprience from them
Most engineering professors should be able to help in assisting you master matlab, that is how I got significantly better using the program. Just associate yourself with people who already have good skills with the program and you should be able to master it with practice!!
Is it improper to answer a question with a question??
One can Master Matlab??
All of these links are very nice. I thought with the change of the help documentation in 2012b, bumping this to the front my be useful to some newcomers.
For varying levels of "master". I guess my feeling on it is that you have MATLAB "mastered" when you can use it quickly and effectively achieve your goals.
Even if you can't make the biggest and baddest regular expression on the first try :)
Get to know a Matlab expert if there is one around who can help you when you are stuck. In my school the older students helped the new students.
