Best fortran programming books according to redditors

Assuming you know how to program in any language you should start to learn Fortran by reading the Fortran 90 handbook

• Fortran 90 handbook http://www.amazon.com/Fortran-90-Handbook-Reference-Computing/dp/0070004064
  
  And follow up with a style lesson (as well as a more modernized approach)
  
  
• Modern Fortran http://www.amazon.com/Explained-Numerical-Mathematics-Scientific-Computation/dp/0199601429
  
  I learned F90/95 from these two books coming from a C/C++ background. Fortran is now my primary language, which I use on a daily basis.
  
  Finally, I'm not sure about windows because we stick to *NIX in my lab (because we develop software for clusters), but I would strongly recommend using any standard Linux OS if you intend on doing a considerable amount of programming. Fortran in windows is like carving a turkey with a butter knife.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fortran-Colouring-Book-Kaufman/dp/0262610264/ - it's a colouring book in the same way that this http://imgur.com/9V0ucX1 really uses a fruit-based abacus.

I've been told this is the best one.

That's actually a very good idea. You really can't go wrong going that route.

In addition to the book you mentioned above, here's another recent book on Fortran that is very good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1107603471/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I learned fortran using these two books

• FORTRAN 77 for Engineers and Scientists with an Introduction to FORTRAN 90
  
  
• Introduction to FORTRAN 90
  
  Since then I've used the following books as well
  
  
• Modern Fortran: Style and Usage
  
  
• Modern Fortran Explained (Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation)
  
  
• Modern Fortran in Practice
  
  I don't have any preference for one over the other, except the first two which were good for learning the basics and the quirks to fortran programming (at a national lab you'll likely be reading legacy code that's written in fortran 77 and things like do-loops are very different from fortran 90 onward).
  
  For example, a do-loop in 77 looks like (the spaces at the beginning of each line are important):
  
  >(6 spaces)DO 70 ICNT=1,XXX
  >
  >(6 spaces) statement1
  >
  >(6 spaces) statement2
  >
  >(6 spaces) ...
  >
  >70 CONTINUE
  
  Whereas in 90 onward:
  
  >do icnt=0,xxx
  >
  >
  > statement1
  >
  > statement2
  >
  > ...
  >
  >end do

This? When I read about Fortran I knew I wanted to be a programmer.
