you could use any editor. Notepad will do :) I personally prefer VC++ for the dropdown of class's methods.

I would recommend getting Dev C++ from http://www.bloodshed.net/ its full-featured, easy to use and free.  Since youre new to C++ i would also recommend either picking up a good c++ book or looking at some free online material (like here http://www.freeprogrammingresources.com/cppbooks.html )

I suggets C++ Programming for the Absolute Begginer. That is the second book I bought, after I found C++ for Dummies very dry. Just my $0.02

I'd also reccomend installing Dev-C++, but to avoid confusing the features of the C++ language with Dev-C++ the Integrated Development Environment, edit your programs in a text editor (C:\My Code> g++  -o 

The following is a very simple "Hello world" program (saved in the text file "hello_world.cpp") to get you started:

#include 

int main()
{
   std::cout  hello_world
Hello world
Press any key to continue . . .

C:\My Code>
