There are many options. I use visual studio express, but I also quite like codeblocks.

Old but still good for newcomers to the programming world: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html


I also highly recommend Microsoft visual studio since it's widely used in by the industry.

You need to find yourself a C++ compiler... Xcode is a pretty decent compiler to start out with.

Devcpp is really old, don't get it. If you like the interface, try wxDevC++, it's actually being updated and looks pretty much the same (from what I've heard).
