Rating:
Strengths:: Simple and easy to follow. It has a description of tool sets and associated examples
Concerns:: The page starts off with the following sentence: "Once you have written a program to perform some data-related function you may find that other people want to use it." This would assume that the reader already has some understanding of how to use the MatLab language. It is assumed that this is not a beginner page. Assessments and tests should have been provided at the end of the content

Rating:
Strengths:: Because of the numerous examples provided, a reader could copy and paste many of these examples to test and explore further in their own coding.Detailed explanation on the tools & controls used with examples on the usage makes it a good self-learning resource
Concerns:: Some explanations of the code examples may be too simplistic.

Rating:
Strengths:: A simple html page making it easy to navigate
Concerns:: This could be supporting document for a course in matlab. So no concerns mentioned

Other Issues and Comments:: There is an assumption of some preliminary background information that is not readily identified. There are no links back to any other pages within the site that would help the viewer know where to go both before and after reading this page.
