Getting Started
I am new without education on this subject. I have a new Computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have purchased a book called "Sams Teach Yourself C++"
The first lesson mentions creating an executable file, then compiling it. The next instruction says "Start your compiler"
Do I need to purchase a compling software? I was under the impression that I could create the executable file inside Notepad and then some how it would be ran through MSDOS command prompt.
If I need additional software to learn to write programs, could someone please pass along some advise or information to get started in this?
Thank You

Here is a good, free compiler and instructions for setting up:

You can start learning here. The tutorials are pretty good:
