C++ Compilers best for beginners?

Hi,

As described I'm literally just starting out in C++. Its not my first time with languages. I am just wondering without having to browse 1000's of pages online if anyone had any advice on a good compiler software for beginners?

Thanks for any help and any other advice if your willing??

Thanks again.

    gcc for compiling, gdb for debugging, a good text editor (I prefer Geany, there are many others). For an IDE, Code::Blocks seems good.

    If you're using Windows, gcc and gdb can be installed via MinGW (mingw.org).

    ALL c++ compilers do the same basic thing... they compile the c++ code you write....

    some have more features some have less.

    if you are just starting with c++ then you will have to browse hundreds of pages to learn what the code does....
