I've taken the step, I feel like learning a new coding language, and I have chosen C++! Though there are so many compilers, I don't know which one to choose! Are there any that people can recommend me?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Agreed, Dev-C++ is good.
It also uses mingw, the Windows port of the ubiqitous Linux compiler gcc, so any programs you write that don't rely on Windows-specific APIs or anything will be pretty easy to port to Linux if you're so inclined. | |
I third that. Use the free GNU compilers. You can get a port of the GNU C and C++ compilers for just about any type of electronic device with a microprocessor (my brother's LEGO Mindstorms kit, for example).
You've probably already found it, but here's the link to Dev-C++: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html If you like the UNIX way of doing things try Cygwin (a port of a lot of handy UNIX tools): http://www.cygwin.com/ If you need to compile for DOS there's DJGPP: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ | |
Borland is good if you can work it I geuss, but I couldnt be botherd learning it
