Pathways

---

This course is merely an introduction to modern Fortran, and most learners will also want to take the Intermediate Modern Fortran course. If you work on HPC code you may also find the ARCHER2 MPI and OpenMP courses linked below useful.

If you have some prior experience with Fortran, and have inherited or are working on legacy Fortran code, start with the Making Legacy Fortran Sustainable (coming soon) course.
