Modern Fortran in Practice

The book is okay. Just gives some modern easy information of Fortran

I found this useful with tidbits of knowledge!

I shall praise this book as a major contribution to Fortran Practice. Certainly a must read for anyone who has to develop in this always renewing programming language: Fortran. The author, despite the deep vision providedon discussions, offers a catching language, sometimes giving the pace of a thriller which brings us to the expectancy of the next scene of the plot (or would it be the next sample program?). The chapter about the problem interface, in which the author presents not only 1 but 7 solutions spaning the diferent standard resources for the problem, for instance, is a superb example of the flexibility offered by Fortran revealed by the experience of the author. On the other hand, many issues, like OOP or coarray features linked to modern programming as used in JAVA or C++, are scrutinised, which leads to an even broder public, despite the book been intended for Fortran programmers. In a nutshell, even purchased, the book put us programmers in debt to this most needed work.

Good service

Excellent reference text.

A person with good grammatical grasp may not be a good poet. And this is true to ALL languages, including programming languages, and this book teaches you to become a good poet.This book assumes you know the rule of the game well (actually very well), and shows you the possibilities of good poems.I can't stop praising this book. I bought this few week ago, and after living with fortran for almost 10 years now, I am still at awe with the applications shown by this book.Though, being a physicist, I was expecting more physics problem from Arjen(who is a renowned physicist himself),but I must agree, if I leave aside personal preferences, he has done a wonderful job for broader audiences.A **must** have for any fortran practitioner.

Nice illustration of best Fortran practices. Easy to read and understand, while providing a lot of information on how to use advanced Fortran features
