    Try this website: thefreecountry.org, there's a whole webpage devoted to free C/C++ compilers and various other resources.

    And, of course, never forget that google is your friend. A search on the terms free C++ compiler pulled up quite a treasure trove.

    theres another one called Dev. Bloodshed or something like that. I used it when i took C++ a few years ago. I liked it way more than MS Visual Studio.

    Just grab Visual Studio Express from MS. It's great.

    My Software Dev. courses use Visual Studio 2005. Express is just a watered down version that's free.

    I don't know why we're not using 2008. We have access to it, and the book we're using has a new edition for 2008.

    No reason not to use it.

    I got a copy from my brother in law's company, but the masters class Im taking allowed me to get a full copy of 2008 for free. Im assuming your still using 2005?

    Yeah, we got VS 2005 for free through the University. From the same place I got VS 2005, I can get 2008. But, my Prof. said to get 2005 for some reason. He also had us get the VS 2005 edition of our text, which there's a VS 2008 edition now available.

    Hmm that's weird. My little brother is taking a c++ class in high school and they are using eclipse. I asked him why they don't use the 2008 that is readily available at his school and he has yet to get a response. Personally after tweaking a few things 2008 is actually quite pleasing to use, and for a rather powerful app is not so rough on system resources.
