Sean: With a disclaimer that what I recomend, some may not consider a good compiler. I would recomend: Downloading free Express tools from Microsoft. They are beta versions, I have not yet installed them myself but did download them, I need to clear up a machine. I use the Visual Studio Products. Go here and download: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/default.aspx There is a manual install or a smaller installer file (I would recommend the manual) I would highly recommend getting a copy MathLink: Network Programming with Mathematica by Chikara Miyaji and Paul Abbott. This book comes with a CD which has CodeWarrior lite. There are a few C and C++ tutorial online you just have to look for them. Benefit to downloading this Micorsoft free Beta product is that you may also play around with .NET/Link. Downsides are no support, you need the .NET framework 2.0, you may need a passport account, ... The book though would solve most issues, newbie help, Mathlink explained, code samples, and a compiler, that they use in examples of the book. But it is not free.
