I have started learning C++. Which compiler do I choose ? I am using Windows 7. Though i have been using Turbo C++, many people suggest that it is not a good compiler to use.

You may want to try clang. They focus a lot on expressive diagnostics, which may be especially useful to beginners. However, I am not sure how far along they are, and if any important feature are missing yet.

Visual Studio. Free editions are available as well. The compiler is integrated into an IDE, which is the most complete and intuitive around.

I would always recommend Visual Studio- it has the best debugger and you're gonna need a lot of said debugger.

If you are on linux, g++ (gcc) would be an good choice.

In windows I personally would prefer Visual Studio Express, but you could use g++ here too. Thats more an personal choice which IDE / compiler you prefer, as they all should fit your needs.
