So what is the missing information and the missing steps to begin to learn how to use and create programs in FORTRAN? Person has either very limited or no programming knowledge. What does a person need to know if he has Windows XP, or Windows Vista, and he wants to learn to use a programming language like FORTRAN? Person does not understand Windows, but just knows how to USE Windows. All the steps of understanding are missing. Download the "Silverfrost ftn95 personal" here:

The nice thing however is that you can edit and debug in a nice IDE and when you're finished the code is usually portable enough to just compile it with the g95 compiler, linked above, to get a stand alone exe if you want it. On the negative side this one needs the supplied Salford library and dll files to run the complied executables, and the freeware version has a nagware time delay of about 8 seconds after program load. This one comes with a nice IDE (editor and debugger). Download the self extracting Windows x86 file, "g95-minGW.exe" here: Ģ. It's only a command-line compiler but it has the advantage that it produces stand-alone exe files. The gnu g95-minGW compiler is a good freeware option. Since the previous post links to a 30 day trial (it my be good software though, I've never tried it) I'll post a couple of freeware options.ġ. If you get stuck, you know where you can find us!Īgain this is another old thread that's been bumped, but I'll add some more to it anyway. There's links to the setup.exe binary you need to run to get started installing it, as well as instructions. Here's one page with a list (first hit on Google looking for "Fortran compilers for Windows"):
I figure there must be some other compilers for Windows, but that's the only one I know, these days. Of those, gcc and friends (including, I presume, FORTRAN) are some of the choices. When you're installing it, you get to select packages to install. I'm sure there's instructions on the Cygwin site. I started on BASIC, myself.Īnyways, to the OP, Cygwin is sort of a UNIX on Windows. As I recall, BASIC was based somewhat on FORTRAN, and meant to be simpler for beginners to use. There are many textbooks for introductory Java and C++ courses.Īgreed. In the US, the most common introductory programming languages in high schools, colleges and universities nowadays are probably Java and C++. All three are now pretty much niche languages. Thirty years ago, if you wanted to learn programming, you learned Fortran if you were a science guy, or Cobol if you were a business guy, or Basic if you were a hobbyist.
