Where can I get Fortran software?
I need to start learning Fortran and I know NOTHING about it. Does anyone know any websites where I can get a Fortran compiler and an editor that recognizes the language? I know I can just google it but there are so many web sites and I don't know which ones to trust. Keep in mind that I don't want anything fancy, just a very simple editor that I can write basic codes in.
Also, please be gentle with technical terminology. I am a mathematician, not a professional programmer. Thanks!
You can get the Force 2.0 Integrated Development Environment for free (see first link).
If you do not care for and IDE, you can get the GCC compiler suite as such, see second link.
For editing Fortran outside of an IDE, you can get the 'emacs' editor, see 3rd link.
The above applies if your environment is Windows. If you are on Linux, usually GCC and emacs are already part of the distribution.
