I used this book for a first course on DSP. This book is very practical. It is loaded with Matlab algorithms that will make your discrete signal processing simulation development enjoyable and challenging.
The Matlab examples cover just about every thing encountered in DSP development. It covers statistical signal analysis, adaptive filter design, FIR, IIR and other important topics.

Readers of this book should download the entire code examples used in this book off the website assigned to this book.

I bought this text as a self-study aid, primarily because the book is advertised as including the solutions to the problems at the end of each chapter. I was very disappointed to find that the answers are provided, but the zip files for the solutions are password protected and made available to only universities. What a shamocary. Other than that, the book has proved to be very light in the discussion section and heavy in the problem sets - so the solutions are very much needed to derive any good use from the material.

This is a nice text in Digital Signal Processing. It is ideal for Junior or Senior level undergraduates who have not been previously exposed to the subject. The combination of mathematical theory with Matlab examples allows students to gain confidence in their work and quickly visualize results.

The book is very good as a background for beginners in DSP, when they are going to use MATLAB, as a tool. The readers may undesrtand the text, without very sophisticated knowledge in mathematics and MATLAB procedures. However, it would be better, if the author could write more about several, used frequently, areas of modern DSP applications - new methods of time-frequency analysis (for example wavelets etc.), dynamic 3D image analyses, with many typical examples using MATLAB.
