• Fortran 90/95 Explained
  Last modified 17:24:00, 26 Apr 1996 - 3.8K - text
  Fortran 95 is a revision of the ISO Fortran 90 standard based on the interpretations that have been requested following its implementation and use. In addition, new features to keep ISO Fortran aligned with High Performance Fortran have been added, along with a small number of other improvements. It is now in its final stages of formal approval.

  This volume represents a thorough revision of "Fortran 90 Explained". It includes more detailed explanations of many features with more examples (giving about 18 additional pages), as well as new appendices (on avoiding Fortran 77 extensions and an extended pointer example, a further 12 pages). Also, it incorporates all the interpretations, and has a completely new chapter on Fortran 95 (18 pages). It is a complete and authoritive description of Fortran 90/95.

  Published by Oxford University Press, Oxford and New York, 1996, ISBN 0 19 851888 9. See also <URL:http://www.oup.co.uk/> (UK) or <URL:http://www.oup-usa.org> (US)

• Fortran 90 Web-based Course
  Last modified 10:16:53, 4 Dec 1996 - 2.6K - text
  The Computing Services Department of the University of Liverpool has an interactive Web-based HTML version of their Fortran 90 and High Performance Fortran courses. See <URL:http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HPCpage.html> for main course information.

  The courses have the following structure - a topic can be selected from the contents page which will display an overview of the selected subject. The user can then either follow a hypertext link to a more detailed explanation or, choose to attempt a programming exercise instead. After the user has finished the exercise, a solution may be viewed. In many cases the user can retrieve a solution template to help him or her get started.

  Thes courses are freely available over the Internet or for installation locally by academic institutions. Use of these courses for commercial purposes may be available upon request.

  The paper-based versions are still available.

  Fortran 90 course topics: declarations, expressions and assignment, control constructs, arrays, intrinsics, I/O, program units (procedures), modules, pointers, derived types and parameterised data types.

• Fortran 90 for Fortran 77 Programmers (Conversion Course)
  The Manchester and North High Performance Computing Training & Education Centre (MAN-T&EC) has developed a Fortran 90 course.

  This course is freely available to academics and has been developed for lecturers to pick up and use in their own lectures. The development of this course was funded under the JISC New Technologies Initiative.

  Materials available include: course syllabus, student notes, overheads, speakers notes, example programs and solutions.
