    You cannot buy and/or download C++. It is a type of programming, not a program. You can buy/download a C++ compiler, which is needed to make any program with C++ programming.

    I personally recommend Dev C++, which is a available at

    http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

    (You can also Google it).

    Many people will suggest Borland C++, because it is one of the best compilers. Yes, Borland is a great C++ compiler, but I strongly recommend it only for highly advanced users.

    Please note that buying and/or downloading a compiler will not teach you how to use C++.

    Good luck!

    Already mentioned:

    1. Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition - can be found at microsoft site and downloaded for free. You can download C++, C#, J# and something else...

    2. GCC - Gnu C, which is the main compiler for unix if you are going to write in console but also supports visual IDEs (or rather is supported by them)

    3. Other mentioned here.... but you should probably start with GCC or Visual Studio

    Since nobody suggested it yet, I'll throw the GNU C++ compiler in to the mix.

    As for Visual C++, do you exclude the Visual C++ Express Edition too?

    Source(s): http://gcc.gnu.org/

    Quite often if you buy a guide to C++ they will include a CD with a release of it on - and then when you work your way through the guide you can match exactly what they are doing without having to worry about the fact your GUI looks different.

    I would like to suggest MinGW. This is minimalized GNU for windows, it includes C++ compiler and everything you need for it, it's just like GNU C++ but made specially for windows, and it's free. And this is modern and developing currently, not like Turbo C 3.0 or Borland C++ 5.0.

    Visit http://mingw.org/ to download it.

    Codeblocks is highly recommended as is free and there are plenty of documentation for it that can easily be found on google.

    http://www.codeblocks.org/

    Very user friendly, ideal for beginners (like me).

    Source(s): I used codeblock for a City & Guilds Intro to C++ course (lvl 2)
