I am learning C++. I don't have much knowledge about programming, more web design. What is a C++ compiler, is it needed, and where can I get one?

A C++ compiler is a program that turns your source code into computer language. It is mandotory to have a compiler. Download a free one, or buy one.

Can I get one for free? If so, where can I get it? (what web site?)

I don't know the site, but search for MingW32. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp/. Note: The bloodshed site has MingW32

You can try going to DevX (http://www.devx.com/) for additional references to C++, and all alike. Hope that helped. :D
