Modern Fortran Style and Usage by Norman S. Clerman, published by Cambridge University Press on December 5, 2011, is a comprehensive guide designed for users of Fortran, ranging from beginners to seasoned experts. This 352-page book focuses on best practices for programmers, scientists, engineers, and researchers who aim to enhance their Fortran coding skills and establish effective guidelines for team projects. The content primarily emphasizes the characteristics of Fortran 2003 while also addressing methods from Fortran 90/95 and introducing valuable features from Fortran 2008.
Readers will find clear and concise guidelines on various aspects of Fortran programming, including formatting, naming conventions, documentation, and packaging. The book also explores different programming paradigms, such as parallel processing with OpenMP, MPI, and coarrays, as well as object-oriented programming and generic programming. Additionally, it provides insights into C language interoperability and offers practical advice for updating legacy code, making it a valuable resource for anyone involved in science and engineering applications.
Official synopsis Publisher
Fortran is one of the oldest high-level languages and remains the premier language for writing code for science and engineering applications. Modern Fortran: Style and Usage is a book for anyone who uses Fortran, from the novice learner to the advanced expert. It describes best practices for programmers, scientists, engineers, computer scientists, and researchers who want to apply good style and incorporate rigorous usage in their own Fortran code or to establish guidelines for a team project. The presentation concentrates primarily on the characteristics of Fortran 2003, while also describing methods in Fortran 90/95 and valuable new features in Fortran 2008. The authors draw on more than a half century of experience writing production Fortran code to present clear succinct guidelines on formatting, naming, documenting, programming, and packaging conventions and various programming paradigms such as parallel processing (including OpenMP, MPI, and coarrays), OOP, generic programming, and C language interoperability. Programmers working with legacy code will especially appreciate the section on updating old programs.
