I've been using MATLAB for almost 30 years, man and boy. In those 30 years, not only has MATLAB itself changed a lot but how you learn it has also changed dramatically. Back in my day, we had a few lectures backed by a textbook and we were grateful. Anything deeper than that required diving into the documentation, all<\/span> of which was available in printed form from the university library.<\/div>\n
Lectures and textbooks<\/a> are still available of course but here in 2025 we have many additional options as well.<\/div>\n

MATLAB Onramp<\/h3>\n
Free, online, interactive and you don't even need to install MATLAB! If you've never programmed before, the 2 hours or so it will take you to get through the MATLAB Onramp<\/a> will be time well spent. The course is a combination of videos, text, hands-on programming and automatically graded interactive quizzes. Add the certificate of completion to your LinkedIn profile to let everyone know about your new skills.<\/div>\n
