Visual fortran Tutorial

prowling — Tue, 06 May 2003 15:26:48 GMT

Hello!

Please help me. I am a student in Mechanical engineering and I would like to learn how to program in Compaq visual fortran from scratch. So i was wondering if there is a tutorial of somekind available online for free, or if there are books which explain programming in CVF for beginners.

What aspect of Visual Fortran do you need help with? Is it learning the Fortran language or is it using the development environment. Visual Fortran is not its own language, like Visual Basic is - it's an extended implementation of the Fortran 95 language and there are many good books on Fortran. One I like is "Fortran 90/95 for Scientists and Engineers" by Stephen Chapman.

If you need help getting started in the development environment, the printed Getting Started manual should help. Additional information is in on-disk manuals as described in Getting Started.

For advanced programming to integrate Windows features into your application, I recommend "Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications" by Norman Lawrence. This also goes over some of the finer points of the development environment.

There is a very good tutorial in portuguese (with summary in english) covering all the basics of Fortran and teaching you to create a quickwin app from scratch...

Hi,
Well i found someone who had the book "Compaq Visual Fortran: A guide to creating windows applications, by Norman Lawrence" and find it quite usefull. It unfortunately does presume you have some knowledge of FORTRAN.
Too bad that webtutorial is in portugese.

Steve,
I need t learn both. i have some experience with visual basic, but that is hardly helping me. I have seen the books you refer to. One of them i found (see previous message). I could not find the other book in a library however, and I'm not able to buy it at the moment. Do you have some other suggestions? Perhaps an online resource of some kind or another book which is clear enough for someone with " no " programming knowledge?

See www.fortran.com/metcalf.htm. Online Fortran tutorials are listed near the end of the page. See also F (modern F95 subset) tutorial at http://sip.clarku.edu/tutorials/F.html.

Hi, I'm a Ph.D student in the department of Civil Engineering of the University of Newcastle. I'm about to develop a Universally required code in FORTRAN. I've started my work in Visual FORTRAN 2010. Can you specify a self study book which can provide me with the most constructive and up to date information about how to write and optimize codes in FORTRAN? I'm looking for the one which starts from scratch but covers the highest boundaries of the software.

Look forward to hear from you soon.

Hint - it's "Fortran", not "FORTRAN" - has been for more than 20 years. It's unfortunate that spellcheckers haven't caught up.
