Fortran Tutorials

Would you like an intensive course on the Fortran programming language to be given at your organization? The Fortran Company offers courses in Fortran 90/95, Fortran 2003, and visual Fortran (several flavors).

Also please note the following: Michael Metcalf, formerly of CERN, Switzerland, and an ex-member of J3 and WG5, offers a Fortran 90 course that lasts for six 75-minute sessions. There is an F version too. He is happy to negotiate holding either version anywhere in the world. These courses are suitable for graduates, or equivalent level, and are a useful way to ‘kick-start’ a Fortran 90 or an F activity at a given site.
