Visual Studios is great 'n' all but I prefer Dev-C++ for a solid C++ compiler
also, look at "the grand library of programming tuts" for tutorials

Simple and programming are not two words to go hand in hand for someone new to the subject. You are going to have to suck it up and deal with the fact that you will actually have to learn something.
Like slovach said, go with Visual Studio, it's probably the best C++ compiler around. I highly suggest you do not touch Dev-C++

i used dev-c++ and it worked fine for me. i didn't really use it much though and i actually went on to vb.net, for school. and i use visual studio for programming in vb.net, which is really good and i would recommend.

Yeah, definitely go with VS.
I nearly died when my Computer Science teacher this year told me that we were going to use Dev-C++.
I'll probably end up bringing my VS 2008 professional copy or download the express edition.

Visual Studio all the way. The Express Edition of Visual C++ has almost all you'll need. Dev-C++ is really more of a backup. It's outdated, not as easy to use (in my opinion) and is outdated.

Use Dev-C++ to learn with (Small, beginner apps) as you get used to the syntax and basics. Then, when you get better and into bigger projects use Microsoft Visual Studios C++

Slovach is write. It is pointless. Really don't touch Dev-C++. In fact I noticed even during the basics, if I did the exactly correct syntax, certain things wouldn't work (i.e cin.get()/getline() never worked for me o.O).

I've used Dev since I started and have only started hating it in the past few months. It works just fine as long as your programs are completely standard, but if you try to do something a bit different, Dev-CPP becomes a brick wall.
VS is probably the best option. Start with it, end with it.

visual studio is probably easier for beginners, especially with intellisense.

Well, I suppose it varies from person to person but when I do small projects, I use Dev primarily because it has the fastest loading time and the easiest layout (For me). When I started, MSVC++ compiler seemed very complicated, but hey, thats just me
