The tool, a collection of MATLAB functions, is based on a ``small-code'' and a ``minutes-run-time'' algorithmic design philosophy. The present version uses the Schwinger model on the lattice, a great simplification, which shares many features and algorithms with lattice QCD. A typical computing project using QCDLAB is characterised by short codes, short run times, and the ability to make substantial changes in a few seconds. QCDLAB 1.0 can be downloaded from the QCDLAB project homepage {\tt http://phys.fshn.edu.al/qcdlab.html}.24 pages, 11 figuresHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
