Hey, I'm new to programming, I've already learned visual basic and would like to move on to c++. I'm still in high school so college courses aren't an option. i got the book learn c++ in 21 days. however i have now way to write the code or compile it or any of the other necessities in making the code a program. could you all provide me with that stuff or tell me where to download it for free? i don't want anything illegal. thank you :)

Begin with Borland devc++, it's a free and easy to use c/c++ compiler for windows.

Borland doesn't make dev-c++, and you would do better to use wxDev-C++.

I like Code::Blocks, but for something lightweight Notepad++ is awesome, slight downside is that you have to set compiler into PATH variable.
A conclusion is where you got tired of thinking.
#define class struct    // All is public.

You could also Cygwin and the G++.

Cygwin seems a little bit too much honestly.
VS2010 is perfect for C programming in Windows.

Use bloodshed devC++. I use it for windows and Geany for Linux. :)

Ups, geany is just an IDE btw. For the compiler, I use G++. :D

Bloodshed Dev-C++ is no longer being developed as I know, and it has some annoying bugs. I wouldn't recommend.

wxDev-C++ or code::blocks would be a better choice than Dev-C++.
