"An great introduction to object-oriented programming. Recommended." Choice

Book Description
Writing technical applications in a modern object-oriented approach, using Fortran ninety or 95, can be problematic. This book teaches how to employ the principles of object-oriented programming to produce clear, highly efficient executable codes (rather than focusing on the traditional procedural abilities of Fortran). This text is an great harbinger to all the features of the finalized, fully object-oriented Fortran 200X. In addition to covering the OOP methodologies, the basic foundation of the language and solid programming skills are reviewed, making the book valuable also as a good migration tool for experienced Fortran programmers that want to smoothly pick up the OOP paradigm. The author highlights common themes by using comparisons with Matlab® and C++ and uses numerous cross-referenced examples to convey all concepts quickly and clearly. Complete code for the examples is included on the accompanying CD.

Reader Reviews
This is a great book for any Fortran programmer (new and old). The author does a fantastic job of introducing OOP for Fortran 90/95. I had no idea that all kinds of neat OO concepts could be implemented in Fortran. I almost want to go back and rewrite my big FEA code using these concepts. What I like most is that the author contrasts implementation details between Fortran, C++, and MATLAB to futher enrich the topics being discussed. Obviously, with this style, the author knows his audience (engineers and scientists). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! Comment | | (Report this)
