I am really concerned about how to learn Fortran correctly. Most of people offer doing practice over and over again or accomplishing ideas, but what if there’s no knowledge of what Fortran can do? Maybe some books (PDF’s) or web related to learning it?

The starting point is:

> **[Learn — Fortran Programming Language](https://fortran-lang.org/learn/)**
>
> Fortran : High-performance parallel programming language

You will find there tutorials, web ressources and books.  
(certain pages can be available in several translations, choose on top if needed).

In addition to the comprehensive web page posted above - I, myself, appreciated the gentle introduction by Brad Richardson on [LinkedIn learning: ‘Learning Fortran’](https://www.linkedin.com/learning/introduction-to-fortran/learning-fortran?resume=false)(2022).
