Fortran Courses in Shrivenham, Swindon UK



Readers may be interested in the courses I'm running this year with
John Reid.

I'm sorry but these are commercial courses and we don't publish
material online.

FORTRAN PROGRAMMING COURSES

Academic Year 2008/09

Cranfield University
DCMT Shrivenham
Swindon


* INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING IN FORTRAN 95

* ADVANCED PROGRAMMING IN FORTRAN 95

* FORTRAN 95 FOR FORTRAN 77 PROGRAMMERS

* FORTRAN 2003 FOR FORTRAN 95 PROGRAMMERS


WHO SHOULD ATTEND
These courses are suitable for practicing scientists and engineers
who need to program in Fortran on a regular basis. The different
courses allow for differing levels of experience in Fortran.


COURSE STRUCTURE
The courses consist of short lectures outlining language
features interspersed with carefully designed, hands-on, practical
sessions to give participants experience of the syntax and
best-use of the Fortran language. Each course makes use of a
textbook, a copy of which is given to each participant.
Participants also receive a course folder containing paper copies
of all slides and practical material. All practical sessions are
delivered via the internet allowing participants to easily
download and modify sample Fortran files both throughout the
course and for a period afterwards.


COURSE LEADERS
The courses are co-designed and led by Shaun Forth and Visiting
Professor John Reid.

Shaun Forth is a Senior Lecturer in Scientific Computation and
has over a decade's experience of teaching Fortran to academic
and industrial participants. He has a background in computational
fluid dynamics and has performed Fortran-related consultancy for
several UK aerospace companies.

John Reid is Convener of the ISO Fortran Committee and has been
closely involved in the design of the Fortran language since the
1980's. John is a numerical analyst internationally recognized
for his work on algorithms and software for sparse linear algebra.

Shaun and John are assisted by colleagues on several of the courses.


COURSE LOCATION
Courses are usually delivered at the Defence Academy, Shrivenham,
near Swindon but may be run by special arrangement at other times
or even at an organisation's site.

FORTRAN 95 - INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING IN FORTRAN 95 (3 days)
This course introduces the most widely used features of the
Fortran 95 programming language. It is targeted at scientists and
engineers, with little or no previous programming experience, who
need to: design and write simple Fortran programs; or understand
and modify more complex Fortran programs written by others. Course
content is based on Stephen Chapman's book "Fortran 95/2003 for
Scientists and Engineers" issued to all participants.
Course Dates: 03 - 05 Nov 2008 and on demand
Course Fee: £900

FORTRAN 95 - ADVANCED PROGRAMMING IN FORTRAN 95 (3 days)
This course is aimed at previous participants our course
"Introduction to Programming in Fortran 95" and introduces
additional features of the Fortran 95 programming language.
The following topics are covered in some depth: input/output;
pointers and dynamic data structures; modules; derived types
and overloading; arrays; character manipulation; intrinsic
procedures. Course content is based on "Fortran 95/2003
Explained" by Michael Metcalf, John Reid and Malcolm Cohen
issued to all participants.
Course Dates: 19 -21 Jan 2009 and on demand
Course Fee: £900

those proficient in other high-level languages such as C, C++
and Java. It introduces nearly all of the important features
of Fortran 95 including: free format source code, control
constructs, arrays, kind numbers, derived types, modules, pointers,
operator overloading. Course content is based on "Fortran 95/2003
Explained" by Michael Metcalf, John Reid and Malcolm Cohen issued
to all participants.

those proficient in other high-level languages such as C, C++
and Java. It introduces the major new features of the
Fortran 2003 standard including: exception handling,
C interoperability, type parameters, procedure pointers,
object-oriented programming. Course content is based on
