Hello guys anyone with an idea of where i can get e-books, softwares and some tutorials on FORTRAN77 or later version? Pls reply to bidemmy2009@yahoo.com |

rodbel:what on earth do u need fortran77 for? |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 6:09pm On Jan 08, 2007 |
neroflick: for programming ofcourse!! |

Who is encouraging you guys with fotarn (How do you even spell it). Tell him/Her, he/She is misleading you. Unless you are studying history of programming. |

It's a course of study in ma sch. |

rock2: Thatz the problem with you guys; simply because you don't know or use fortran u begin to discourage those who are learning it. For your infomation FORTRAN programmers make big money in the US and UK. |

ishmael: Well, your post made me do a little research. I learnt FORTRAN (i learnt to spell it) is still used for numerical analysis. NASA stilll use fortran (F90) for processing of satellite remote sensing data. Meteorological programming is also best done in FORTRAN. Maybe because of FORTRAN's simplicity, speed with numbers, and compatibility with very old machines. Although it has a very small user base (maybe that's why someone would pay well if you know it) I guess this is a consolation to out FORTRAN users. For tutorials, just google it in or check your school's library if it was built in the 70's |

[table][tr][td]Thatz the problem with you guys; simply because you don't know or use fortran u begin to discourage those who are learning it. For your infomation FORTRAN programmers make big money in the US and UK.[/td][/tr][/table] Ishmael - You sound like you have a little passion for Fortran, well I must agree with Rock2 a little - Fortran77 is quite out dated. Please understand that I am not trying to be obnoxious. But at this present times, object oriented programming is ideal. Using the same effort you put into programming Fortran, you can always explore more recent programming languages. However, I can understand if you are using Fortran for just specific tasks that it is most suitable, or school work. Anyhow, It's still quite unfortunate that our Nigerian universities choose to teach older languages instead of newer ones. Perhaps, the professors do not have training and knowledge in 3GL and 4GL languages. You won't find too many schools in the US that still teach Fortran. |

FORTRAN is still well used in mathematical computing both in academia and industry. rodbel could be a mathematician. |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 12:45pm On Jan 13, 2007 |
rookie: Yes i like FORTRAN, it's still the most suitable programming language for mathematical, statistical and numerical computing. From your post it's like you know very little about FORTRAN. Please do a research to know the latest versions of FORTRAN compilers available. It may interest you to know that there is Object-Oriented FORTRAN/Visual FORTRAN now, which are as good as other OOP languages and better than them in handling mathematical and numerical computations. FORTRAN 2003 has Object-Oriented progamming features. |

I wonder what u need Fortran for. Its outdated and i don't expect anyone to be looking for fortran in this age. But i think the problem is from the lecturers who learnt programming with fortran in their days and refused to advance due to laziness. so what they do is to pass on their outdated knowlege to students like you . |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 11:35am On Feb 05, 2007 |
geebengs: FORTRAN has grown beyond FORTRAN 77. Check out FORTRAN 2003 and see the object -oriented features it has. It is highly comparable with other OOP languages like JAVA and C++ and better than them in the handling and processing of figures. Some of the highest paid programmers in the US and UK today are FORTRAN and COBOL programmers. You can still learn it if you wish, it does nt stop you from learning other languages like JAVA and C++ which a lot of people still prefer to use. |

Some of the highest paid programmers in the US and UK today are FORTRAN and COBOL programmersSome of the most powerful presidents in the world today are idiots (Bush). That doesn't mean any idiot can aspire to be a president. In the same way, you probably won't get a FORTRAN or COBOL job! |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 1:23pm On Feb 05, 2007 |
Seun: in the same way you probably won't get a JAVA or C++ job. |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by rookie(m): 9:51pm On Feb 05, 2007 |
ISHMAEL Most US employers advertise job openings on CareerBuilder, Monster etc. Try searching for job opening for COBOL or FORTRAN programmers and see what you get. Don't just sit down there, and talk about how much FORTRAN programmers earn in the US. I can walk you through it GoTo: www.careerbuilder.com in the Keyword field: type in FORTRAN or COBOL -- see what you get, I tried it -- u can guess -- I got only 1 for both then type in JAVA or .NET -- see what you get -- so many i lost count Drop your pride and explore newer technologies and don't just argue about how much COBOL/FORTRAN developers make in the US |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 1:13pm On Feb 06, 2007 |
All the same sha, one can still learn them together with the newer languages that are in vogue like Java and C++. |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 2:04pm On Feb 06, 2007 |
rookie: I guess you did not see well or you went to the wrong site and not www.careerbuilder.com I got in there and saw countless jobs and vacancies for people with experience in FORTRAN programming; COBOL programmers are higly in demand too. Go back and do your search very well, perhaps you missed the site. |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by Wordsmith(m): 6:04pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
hi, i would also need some e-books on this programming language, will be taking the course this semester. thanks |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 3:05pm On Oct 30, 2008 |
Fortran programming is still very useful. only lazy people hate fortran. |
| Re: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by alex406(m): 11:12am On Nov 03, 2008 |
Pls competent programmers,what are really the differences Between FORTRAN and other programming Languages? I guess FORTRAN is the first programming Language with about 80 columns sheet.And its still rocking the ground but i wonder why higher inst. in Nigeria are not teaching the latest ones only the old one like V.B and fortran. |
