Coding in VBA and Fortran

[tcable7127]

So my MS research is going to rely heavily on numerical methods and coding in both VBA and Fortran. I have little to no experience with coding / numerical methods with products like this (other than one undergrad class in numerical methods with MATLab). I currently purchased a book to learn VBA "Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by Joseph Billo", but I haven't come across anything for Fortran. So my question is, does anyone have a lot of experience with either or these programs, and if so, what book would you reccomend / how should I get up to speed on these programs. I should also add that I only have about a month to go through these books and get a good grasp of the programs. Any help that you can offer would be appreciated!

Wow, welcome to my life. I did an undergrad in Mechanical Engineering and all I took was one numerical methods with MATLAB course and one introductory C++ course. I am now doing numerical methods in Fortran for my Master's. I eased into it by doing a summer research project before I started that required the use of C++ and Fortran codes. I typically find an online tutorial sort of thing that seems good enough and read through the details of the language. Since our code is very far along, I then just dove straight into reading our code and trying some new things. My coursework also required a great deal of MATLAB programming so that also helped me ease into it.
