R2008a includes major enhancements to the object-oriented programming capabilities in MATLAB®, enabling easier development and maintenance of large applications and data structures. Using engineering examples, this webinar will demonstrate how to define classes and work with objects, highlighting the benefits of this programming approach over traditional procedural techniques. It will highlight many new features, including:

• Class definition files, enabling definition of properties, methods, and events
• Handle classes with reference behavior, aiding the creation of data structures such as linked lists
• Events and listeners, allowing the monitoring of object property changes and actions

No knowledge of object-oriented programming is required.
