You're probably better off with a book though, do an amazon.com search for "C++" and see which ones you like best.

Ok what about a good FREE compiler... I dont have money to spend on books and compiliers...
Dev-C++, Code::Blocks come with GNU-GCC I think, and I believe MS C++ Express or whatever is free (so they say).
Yes, Visual C++ Express Edition is free (forever), and I would recommened using it because it has an excellent debugger, and will work well with whatever API you choose. Check out the MSDN Express page for more info.

Thanks, do you know about any ebooks that are free or tutorials that I can download? Or even any really good online tutorials?
Yeah, there's a free e-book here called Thinking in C++. It's a good classic for beginners.

MS dosen't make you pay for the compiler, it makes you pay for the Debuger and the IDE. I don't think any company makes you pay for their compiler...

Yes, and no, I do believe advanced features of the compiler you have to pay for. And of course, to reiterate, Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition is a free download until November.
Actually, Microsoft will give you a compiler complete with IDE and debugger for free (until November) but if you have d/loaded before Nov then you can keep forever.
On a side note however, I have heard from people on GameDev that the express edition of Visual Studio does not support add-ins so Visual Assist X will be no good to you with this compiler.
And like _goat said, there are probably more advanced features of the (pay for) compiler.
