Makespace Cambridge hosts a FORTRAN 70th birthday coding session on 15 October 2026. Attendees gather to learn the legacy programming language, set up a toolchain, and work individually or in groups. The event includes snacks and welcomes non-members.
Its FORTRANs 70th Anniversary! Come and spend an evening eating snacks and trying to learn one of the oldest programming languages, still hidden in in the depths of awful legacy code in the modern day! Its a nice excuse to do something laid back with pleasant people and learn a new language that may alter how you think about computers and code a bit! We'll start by working out a tool-chain, then work in groups or on our own and if anyone wants to they can share what they've done or useful tips they've discovered. Non-members welcome :)
