  • Object-Oriented Programming in Fortran

    8 Aug 2012 - 10 Aug 2012
    NCAR Mesa Lab, Boulder, CO
    Damian Rouson, Karla Morris, and Salvatore Filippone

    Modern Fortran explicitly supports object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP aims to increase a program's maintainability in part by reducing cross-module data dependencies and to increase a program's reusability in part by providing for extensible derived types. Emerging compiler support for Fortran 2003/2008 inspires a more modern program design and implementation style. This course provides the requisite skills.
