These courses are not intended for the complete beginner. They assume significant experience with programming Fortran (any dialect, old or modern); it is assumed that people have written at least a 1,000 line Fortran program or done comparable modifications to an existing program. Users with limited experience should attend the "Introduction to Modern Fortran" course (and then practice what they have learnt) first, or they are unlikely to understand these courses.
Converting Old To Modern Fortran
This course will cover the important programming tasks that used to be messy or complicated in Fortran 77, and can be done more cleanly and effectively in modern Fortran (i.e. Fortran 90/95/2003). It is intended for people who have been using Fortran for many years, but have not been following the recent standards. It is also intended for people who have an older, but still valid, Fortran program and want to clean it up and make it easier to understand and maintain. It will cover only aspects of old Fortran (i.e. Fortran 77) that can be improved by replacing them, and not the totally new aspects.

A.k.a. Fortran Archaeology
This course is intended for users who have variant or old Fortran programs, and need to convert them to modern, standard Fortran. It concentrates on programs that do not work on all current compilers, rather than correct ones that are written in an old-fashioned style. People who have been using Fortran for many years, or learnt a particular system's dialect of Fortran, may also find it useful, as a help for converting to modern, standard Fortran. This course assumes more familiarity with Fortran 77 than the other course does.
