Author Craig Lent’s 1st edition of Learning to Program with MATLAB: Building GUI Tools teaches the core concepts of computer programming, such as arrays, loops, function, basic data structures, etc., using MATLAB. The text has a focus on the fundamentals of programming and builds up to an emphasis on GUI tools, covering text-based programs first, then programs that produce graphics. This creates a visual expression of the underlying mathematics of a problem or design. Brief and to-the-point, the text includes material that can be converted with supplementary reference material designed to entice users to retain their copy.

作者Craig Lent的《用MATLAB学习编程：构建GUI工具》第1版使用MATLAB教授计算机编程的核心概念，如数组、循环、函数、基本数据结构等。本书以编程的基础知识为重点，并逐步强调GUI工具，首先涉及基于文本的程序，然后是产生图形的程序。这为问题或设计的基础数学创造了一个视觉表达。简洁明了，文本包括可以转换的材料，并有补充参考材料，旨在吸引用户保留他们的副本。
