C++ Software

[dancinhomer]

I've just started the tutorials on the website, but having problems running the very first program. This is possibly due to using Borland C++ 5.01 from when I was at college in 1997.

Can someone tell me what are the best/current versions for programming software and where I can buy them? Alternativly are there any free ones?

Thanks

Nowadays, the best compilers are: VC++ (for Windows), GCC (or MinGW for Windows development), and Intel's compiler.

IMO (read: I don't want to hear anything about there's no best compiler).
