Author Compac Visual Fortran

Hi,

I do not have much experienced with Fortran. I have Compact Visual
Fortran compiler (Developer Studio). I do not know to use most of its
new functions etc to use in programing (You can call me a bigginer
simply). I searched for a book which decribe programing with Visual
Fortran in detail with examples. However, I did not find a good book
with examples. Does any one knows a good book to study Visual Fortran.
It does not hurt even if the book Start from scratch with Hellow world
program.

I greatly appreciate your information.

Thank you,

Kith

I haven't read it, but the title looks promising:
Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications - Norman
Lawrence, Digital Press (an imprint of Butterworth-Heinemann), 2001, ISBN
1-55558-249-4.

This text has a good reputation for use with more recent compilers
running under Windows Visual Studio as well, so you should get your
money's worth here. Mike's own texts are excellent, if you aren't
looking for specifics of Visual Studio.

That book, however, covers mainly "visual" or "advanced" aspects of VF,
kind of Petzold's "Programming Windows". I think it's too advanced for
Kith's needs. He needs something more basic.

The Language Reference Manual that should have come with
CVF has limited examples for most functions/statements, and the Programmer's
Reference Manual also has some. In a proper install these are accessible
from the Studio IIRC, otherwise look for the .pdf files on the distribution
disks. Failing that, the equivalent current manuals are downloadable
from Intel:
