Congratulations to all involved in this work.
Books
=====
Here is a post by Walt regarding his book.
******************************************
I was asked to announce this when available.
This is not for most readers of this newsgroup,
except some of the more inexperienced ones who
have asked questions recently (I think that is
a great use of clf). But maybe you have some
friends, neighbors, or colleagues who might be
interested.
It is a tutorial book that starts at the beginning,
but does include introductions to OO programming,
submodules, PTDs, DTIO, and coarrays. It would be
great for an introductory programming class if there
were many such things. In my opinion. one of its
best features is lots of examples; I will put many
of them on fortran.com real soon.
The price at fortran.com is $49.99, which, even with
shipping, beats the price at Amazon or Springer (at least
for shipping in the US). It is a sad fact that I get
more $ selling the book than authoring it.
**********************************************
Wearing my editor of Fortran Forum hat
would anyone (or more) like to review the book?
I would include the review in (hopefully)
the next edition of Fortran Forum.
Springer will provide either an electronic
or paper copy to the reviewer.

if you would prefer a printed version please contact me and I will
contact Springer London and arrange a copy to be sent to you.
