Many people use the Borland IDE / compiler for straight C++ programming.





You can also get Visual C++ 2005 Express direct from Microsoft. Visual C++ isn't exactly a ';pure'; version of C++, but it's close enough for beginners, has piles of useful libraries, and loads of support through MSDN.

you want to learn c++. C ++ is an object oriented language. if you are new to this field then you have to get book that explains C++ using OOP. for that you can have books like Object Oriented Programming in C++ by Robert Lafore. there are many books that will explain it. in addition to that visit the site of Sroustrup who is the developer of the language and has great deal of explanation about the common misconception of language.





regarding compiler if you are under windows platform then you have Borland C++ and for linux its g++ that comes with it when you install that OS.
Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition is free, that is a good place to start.
You might also want to consider GNU C++ as a free alternative to MS Visual Studio. The GNU and FSF organizations have a lot of software that can be of use to developers.
