The Computing Services Department of the University of Liverpool now offer their popular Fortran 90 and High Performance Fortran Courses in a new interactive Web-based HTML format. Both courses have a similar 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 get started. Use of these courses for commercial purposes may be available upon request. The traditional paper-based versions of these courses have been used by many UK academic and research institutions and have received good reports - any feedback on the interactive HTML-based versions is strongly welcomed. The paper-based version are still available.

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course will cover the important programming tasks that used to be messy or complicated in Fortran 77, and can be done more cleanly and effectively in modern Fortran (i.e. Fortran 90/95/2003). It is intended for people who have been using Fortran for many years, but have not been following the recent standards. It is also intended for people who have an older, but still valid, Fortran program and want to clean it up and make it easier to understand and maintain. It will cover only aspects of old Fortran (i.e. Fortran 77) that can be improved by replacing them, and not the totally new aspects.

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This is a basic introduction to modern Fortran. At the end of the course, students should be able to write significant programs in Fortran, and to be able to start working on existing programs written in modern Fortran (i.e. in the Fortran 90/95 style). It will not cover obsolete features of Fortran, some of the more advanced aspects, or most of the extensions introduced by Fortran 2003.

The course has been rewritten in the light of experience from last year, and will include less on the concepts of programming and more on what practical Fortran programmers need to know (such as a session on Fortran I/O).

Initially there will be a talk and demonstration then there will be an opportunity to try out any techniques you have learned about. To this end, if you are interested in looking at analytics for your own site and you haven't yet obtained a code and installed it on your pages, you will need to do that before the course. If you are interested in interpreting data that is already being collected you won't have to worry about that. Bear in mind that there is a lag in data collection of 24 hours.
