I've heard of this from other people but have no idea how it is. It seems like there are plenty of links at their site to help you get started though.

Hope this helps.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ is probably the easiest for a n00b to use. You can also get a learning edition of MS Visual C++ along with some Microsoft Press books. Both of these have everything built-in.

I personally use the Visual C++ IDE with the GCC compiler.

KDevelop + Gnu compilers

Depends on what you want, some people like the big IDEs like VS some people like a text editor and command line compiler. In Linux I usually just run vim and gcc/gdb manually, in Windows I'll use VS because I'm not as comfortable with Windows' CLI. But if you want free, VS is anything but free. I think VS is overkill for most people, but the MSDN it comes with is great.

VS = Microsoft Visual Studio
