With web languages, all you need is the browser to compile them, but with non-web application designing languages like C and C++, you have to buy (from what I've seen expensive ) compilers just to even be able to learn them... That's really frustrating...
If I wanted to be a web designer, I'd need only to buy books to learn, but for other things, I need expensive programs... Don't get me started on 3ds Max/Maya...
Why is it so expensive to get started in this area? To learn things like that you have to be so... rich to even get into it...
Hmm...

Let me help you out.

Go there, and you can download the Dev-C++ compiler which is at *checks* just about version 5 now. Anyway, its totally freeware and totally awesome
Probably not as good as the expensive stuff, but it gets the job done and you get to use features such as copyright/version info and custom icons

There's also the GNU C++ compiler. Some software companies (like Borland) also offer student prices for some of their products.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

There's also Open Watcom C/C++ and FORTRAN compilers. The installer is a huge download though (60 meg last I checked).

I was just wondering because linux comes with free c/c++ compilers as well as some others. I think all unix systems and unix clones at least come with gcc, cc, or something simular.
gcc can be found for windows/dos, but I never quit understude how to set it up. It's called djgpp nad here's the site if you want to check it out.

gcc's home page is:
http://gcc.gnu.org/
dev-c++ by bloodshed software is pretty nice, plus it's free and opensource. Like Jedisonic said, you should try it.

Linux is very much a sweet idea if you like compiling things. However I expect (knowing your possible intentions) you will be wanting to compile on the windows platform. Check out whatever free links get posted in this thread, but you probably wanna get hold of a decent development tool. Preferably something that supports DirectX.
One of my friends is into Delphi (pascal based language, similar use), and I know for certain that comes with a directX module, which he used to design a very very simple 3d game.
More linkage to trawl anyway:

Bear in mind that stuff that must be compiled into binaries(c++, pascal, whatever) is not my area at all.
