The best compiler depends on a lot of things. Like, what OS you
are using. You can likely get the gnu compiler for your system,
and it's under the gnu license. If you step up to commercial
development, there's several choices, none perfect. Gets you
back to what operating system you intended to develop for.

Define best.

best == most standard compliant?
best == generating fastest code?
best == compiles fastest?
best == cheapest?

I think GNU C++ (g++) compiler is good enough if you are beginner. It
is easy to install on most of modern UNIXes (Linux and BSD). It is also
available for other OSes.

If you use windows, get Dev-C++ from

http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html.

It comes with Mingw ( a g++ windows port). You get a good c++ editor
with a good compiler for free.

For books, I like C++ complete reference and Thinking in C++ by Bruce
Eckel. You can get PDF version of Thinking in C++ book for free at
