It's been years since I last programmed in C++ and I want to brush up on it over the next couple weeks. Problem is I have no idea what's out there that I could use for programming/debugging C++ programs; the compiler I used before came on a CD with the textbook, but now I'm completely on my own (I don't even remember if a compiler is what I need to write C++ programs). I just need direction to some simple and free (very important!) resource to get back into programming again.
Any help will be appreciated :smile:
