[Pw_forum] about the program style of pwscf

[Goranka Bilalbegovic]

If someone is an absolute beginner, and there is  nobody around in real life
to help, then after finishing with the Fortran tutorial, for example:
http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/COURSES/cs201/NOTES/fortran.html
it is perhaps rather hard to understand how Quantum Espresso and pwscf are
organized.

Perhaps, for computing/programming, it is useful to read about:

Make:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)
Configure script: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configure_script

and also to check some of the Tutorials by Paolo Giannozzi:

The Quantum ESPRESSO Software Distribution:
http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_overview.pdf
Notes on parallel computing:
http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_para.pdf

and, of course, a review article about QE:
