Product Description
Written by members of the Fortran 90ISO and ANSI committees, this book is the source of the most important information about the powerful new Fortran 90 programming language. All of the important new features of Fortran 90 are covered with examples, and case studies are used to illustrate the practical use of features.

 badly written February 24, 2005

This book is one of the worst programming books you can find.
The concept explanations are vague in many instances. Some example
codes are too long and distract the reader from the concepts the
authors are tring to teach. Fortran 90 language was built with object-oriented capabilities, but this concept is almost completely absent. Only a few words about public and private keywords. Also the index at back is defficient.
Trim this book of unnecessary examples and easy concepts. Add
object-oriented features and some editing. Then it should be a better book.
The only think I like is that the book has about 440 pages, unlike the monstruous 1000-plus pages of other programming books
containing too much unnecessary talk.
The worst tech book I've seen in years... January 9, 2002

A book to steer clear of: a programming book without a single figure or drawing, with the poorest pagination I've ever seen. Impossible to find the options for open for instance. Worthless.

I use this book over the Compaq fortran 90 language manual sometimes. Examples are easy to follow and the writing is very clear. Many examples. There is a nice section at the back on obsolete fortran 77 conventions, and their replacements. It's a nice compact book too - you don't realize how much information it contains because it's not enormous and heavy. I recommend it to anybody
 A solid, well-written introduction to the language March 5, 1997

After looking through most of the available texts, we chose this this book to teach a course on Fortran-90 to scientists and engineers at NASA. It is especially helpful to programmers with a good understanding of Fortran-77 who want to make the transition to this powerful revision of the language. The book covers the most useful new features (array processing, allocateable memory, derived types, encapsulation) very thoroughly. The writing is generally clear, cogent, and understandable. The only thing lacking is a complete treatment of language intrinsic functions, for which you need the large (and expensive) language handbook.
