Planning on Fortran Development, Any Advice?

Asked By herbert welling 20 points N/A Posted on - 04/13/2012

In my country, I noticed that Fortran, a rare yet high paying programming language is in demand nowadays. I have small Java background and a bit of Python knowledge. I would like to try out Fortran any time soon so what would you suggest I do to help me learn and understand Fortran? Should I use Fortran as my main development tool?
