A quick, practical introduction to the C# programming language.

Linux has become increasingly popular as an alternative operating system to Microsoft Windows as its ease of installation and use has improved. This, combined with an ever growing range of applications, makes it an attractive alternative to Windows for many people.Essential Linux fast covers areas such as:- The essential preliminaries that should be carried out before installing Linux- Installing a Linux system- Configuring peripherals- Using X windows- Basic and intermediate Unix commands- Using the Internet with Linux- Using Linux for document preparation- Using Linux for programmingIf you want to make the switch from Windows, this is the book you need. Ian Chivers tells you how to get and install Linux and explains why Linux is becoming the hottest operating system of the millennium.

Introducing Fortran 95 contains:- Lots of clear and simple examples highlighting the language features- Details of a variety of internet based sources which will prove invaluable for those seeking further information and support- Key features of the latest version of Fortran, including ISO Technical Reports TR 15580 and TR 15581This comprehensive introduction will be essential to the complete beginner who wants to learn the fundamentals of programming using a modern, powerful, expressive and safe language, and to those wanting to update their programming skills by making the move from earlier versions of Fortran.Ian Chivers and Jane Sleightholme are the joint owners of comp-fortran-90. Both authors have been involved in teaching and supporting Fortran and related areas for over 20 years.

Microsoft''s Visual C++ 6.0 contains lots of new features designed to help developers build high performance applications. This book covers all these, which makes it ideal reading for those who want a quick introduction to Windows programming with Visual C++ and the Microsoft Foundation class (MFC) library. Topics covered by Ian Chivers in this book include: The 2 key Windows classes: CFrameWnd and CWinApp; Message Maps; Controls. Graphical Output Newcomers to the package will find that Essential Visual C++ 6.0 fast will help them to create their own applications - incorporating all the new features - quickly, effectively and productively.

A quick, practical introduction to the C# programming language.

This fourth Edition presents new examples on submodules, derived type i/o, object oriented programming, abstract interfaces and procedure pointers, C interop, sorting and searching, statistics and converting to more modern versions of Fortran.Key FeaturesHighlights the core language features of modern Fortran including data typing, array processing, control structures, functions, subroutines, modules and submodules, user defined types, pointers, operator overloading, generic programming, parallel programming, abstract interfaces, procedure pointersPinpoints common problems that occur when programmingIllustrates the use of several compilersIntroduction to Programming with Fortran has been written for the complete beginner with little or no programming background as well as existing Fortran programmers and those with programming experience in other languages

In response to feedback from course delegates this third edition has been revised throughout. It expands on the second edition with new and updated examples in the chapters on arithmetic, i/o, character data, modules, data structuring and generic programming with minor updates to the rest of the chapters.

Key Features

·         lots of clear, simple examples highlighting the core language features  of modern Fortran including data typing, array processing,  control structures, functions, subroutines, modules,  user defined types, pointers, operator overloading, generic programming, object oriented programming and parallel programming

·         pinpoints common problems that occur when programming

·         illustrates the use of several compilers

·         with better standards conformance in compilers  there are new examples illustrating the following major features:

                - C Interop

                - IEEE arithmetic

                - parameterised derived types

Introduction to Programming with Fortran will appeal to the complete beginner, existing

Fortran programmers wishing to update their code and those with programming experience in other languages.
