All,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Bryce Whitson and I am a PhD Student at Purdue University. My studies are based around the use of Numerical Analysis of High-Speed Reacting Flows (Computational Fluid Dynamics).
As a general rule, we use Fortran for all of our coding needs, so I know my way around a Fortran code. This is actually what brings me to this list. We have recently begun utilizing the CUDA Fortran compiler by PGI and I would like to extend Geany's capabilities to include the CUDA Fortran language by default. I would have put in a feature request for this, but I figure there are not enough people out there coding in CUDA Fortran for it to become a priority.
With that being said, I am completely new to the C/C++ coding world, so this will be a learning experience in more than one way for me. Assuming I am able to integrate the CUDA Fortran filetype into Geany, I would then like to move on to the CUDA C programming language as well.
This is my first foray into coding for the open source world; I guess you could call me a noob, haha. So, anyone have any advice on how to get started?
