Learn fortran

In my last couple of posts i have talked about avionics and how knowledge of is essential for avionics graduate. That's true but what is one other language that i'll recommend to all aesi graduates?

As you might have guessed it. Its fortran. Its the language of enginnering! And specially so for aeronautical! Most of the code that's available and is in use is written in fortran. Most of the stuff you will work on will have fortran component in it. If i can say so, fortran is the blood of aerospace industry.

So if you have a chance to learn a language, apart from c, learn fortran. Yes people will say its an old language, yes its old but its the only one that is working in many of the aero softwares!
