Participants in the GSoC and others new to Fortran would like a good tutorial to get started. There are many listed at the [Fortran Wiki](http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Tutorials). Skimming the first few listed there, I think - [Introduction to Fortran](https://qc2-teaching.readthedocs.io/en/latest/programming.html) (2020) from the Grimme group is good but short. Longer and also good is - [Modern Fortran Tutorial](https://masuday.github.io/fortran_tutorial/index.html) (February 2020) by Yutaka Masuda. What other tutorials would experienced Fortranners recommend? ---

Thanks for recommending our introduction to Fortran, I’m happy you found it useful. I’m going to teach a six week Fortran course starting next month based on this material. Until then some updates to the material can be expected, especially with regard to using _fpm_. Also, feedback is always very welcome. ---

There is a online book (401 pages) by Victor Eijkhout, [Introduction to Scientific Programming in C++/Fortran 2003](https://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/CompEdu/pdf/isp/EijkhoutIntroSciProgramming-book.pdf) which discusses Fortran after C++, pointing out differences. The author also makes available a book [Introduction to High Performance Scientific Computing](https://pages.tacc.utexas.edu/~eijkhout/istc/istc.html). ---

Another good introductory online book is Ed Jorgenson’s Introduction to Programming using Fortran 95/2003/2008 [http://www.egr.unlv.edu/~ed/fortran.html](http://www.egr.unlv.edu/~ed/fortran.html) The NASA SIVO Seminar Series on the Fortran 2003 Standard by Tom Clune and associates also has some useful info about Fortran 2003 features circa 2008 [https://modelingguru.nasa.gov/docs/DOC-1375/version/20](https://modelingguru.nasa.gov/docs/DOC-1375/version/20) ---

How is this course going to be taught ? Will the lectures be accessible online ? If so, send me a link so I can share it on the Discord. ---

I’d recommend the lecture notes of David Apsley from the Univ. of Manchester (link below). They’re divided in introductory and advanced, and cover many topics concisely but clearly. They’re very good for mastering the fundamentals and then moving on to more specialized topics as desired.

I have found this site which offers Fortran tutorials: > **[Over 1500 tutorials in 11 languages](https://learntutorials.net/)** > > Tutorial by example in: de, es, fr, hi, it, nl, pl, ru, sv, ja, ko I have not tested all languages.

Maybe it’s a little outdated, but my go-to reference is [MTU - Fortran 90 Tutorial](https://pages.mtu.edu/~shene/COURSES/cs201/NOTES/fortran.html). ---
