Reader Reviews
It's short and has all the basics. I have been programming in C for a few years and had to do some Fortan programming. I bought this book only and it was a breeze to wade through. Smolarski writes very clearly and it's only 120 pages so it reads very easily. The only bad thing is that certain parts towards the end are not clear in the absence of examples. One thing that bugged me was the absence of an example of the COMMON statement and a description of how one would use it. The ENTRY statement also suffers the same lack description and I had to consult a colleague to figure out how to use it. Overall, though, I am very pleased with the purchase. The price can't be beat and it's covers almost every aspect of F77.
