Tips for getting started on the Duke physics Linux machines.
If you are unfamiliar with programming (or Fortran), here is a Fortran tutorial it may be helpful to go through (check out these notes before trying it here at Duke.) Fortran is not the most modern language (I recommend next learning C++), but a lot of existing SK software is written in Fortran, and this tutorial will help develop some basic programming concepts.
