“Modern Fortran teaches you to develop fast, efficient parallel applications using twenty-first-century Fortran. In this guide, you’ll dive into Fortran by creating fun apps, including a tsunami simulator and a stock price analyzer. Filled with real-world use cases, insightful illustrations, and hands-on exercises, Modern Fortran helps you see this classic language in a whole new light.”

“Using Fortran, early and accurate forecasts for hurricanes and other major storms have saved thousands of lives. Better designs for ships, planes, and automobiles have made travel safer, more efficient, and less expensive than ever before. Using Fortran, low-level machine learning and deep learning libraries provide incredibly easy, fast, and insightful analysis of massive data. Fortran is an amazingly powerful and flexible programming language that forms the foundation of high performance computing for research, science, and industry. And it's come a long, long way since starting life on IBM mainframes in 1956. Modern Fortran is natively parallel, so it's uniquely suited for efficiently handling problems like complex simulations, long-range predictions, and ultra-precise designs. If you're working on tasks where speed, accuracy, and efficiency matter, it's time to discover—or re-discover—Fortran..”

“For over 60 years Fortran has been powering mission-critical scientific applications, and it isn't slowing down yet! Rock-solid reliability and new support for parallel programming make Fortran an essential language for next-generation high-performance computing. Simply put, the future is in parallel, and Fortran is already there.”

“For the reader seeking proof of life for modern Fortran, Milan's work provides ample evidence of the language's ongoing role in technological modernity.” –From the Foreword by Damian Rouson, Sourcery Insitute

“An excellent introduction to the joys of modern Fortran; from polymorphism to parallelism. A must-read.” –Matthew Emmett, Computer Modelling Group

“A unique book that builds on many real-life examples to show that Fortran is still alive and can be used productively even in the era of the web.” –Maurizio Tomasi, Università degli Studi di Milano

“Compared to other programming books I have seen, this one is exceptionally pleasant to work through.” –Konrad Hinsen, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Milan Curcic is a meteorologist, oceanographer, and author of several general-purpose Fortran libraries and Fortran applications. He is a scientist and founder. A Fortran programmer since 2006, he has worked with teams from United States Navy and NASA on developing and improving Earth system prediction models. He has also built a SaaS platform for numerical weather prediction (https://cloudrun.co), porting a million lines of Fortran to the cloud. Milan has authored several general-purpose Fortran libraries and is a founding member of the open source Fortran community project (fortran-lang.org).
