Free C/C++ compilers

[eeshman]

Here's a newbie question. I am new to programming and I picked up this book about C++. However, it's for a windows platform and it didn't come with a compiler. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good free C++compiler or development environment for windows. Thanks in advance.

Dev-C++ from BloodShed is an excellent compiler which I use all the time. Of course if you're using Linux there's always gcc.

There's also LCC (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32) and DJGPP (www.delorie.com/djgpp/)
