Advice 1

[Arpene]

Hello Guys

I'm a litlle bit concerned about "good practices" on programming in Fortran.
I'm not a professional programmer. I do use Fortran in my work as a tool.
However, I think, I have already gathered a good knowledge about it, so that now I'd like to optimize the way I write my codes.

Is there some specific literature about it? (I mean: how to write a good code?)
Is this an area that doesn't depends on the language you're using?

I'll be very thankfull for any advice or hint that I could receive from you guys.

Thanks in advance.

Artur

The basic principles are language independent, up to the point where the language may fail to support them, such as with smoe versions of BASIC that only support 2-character variable names.

There are tons of information on the web, such as:
> meaningful and consistent naming conventions
> program modularity
> lots of commenting
