I recently got my hands on a nifty book that teaches you how to program in C++. The C++ compiler it teaches on is CodeWarrior. So does anyone know where I can get a free download of it? I'm not willing to pay $100+ for a compiler.

1) I'd prefer to have the closest thing to CodeWarrior because of how the book teaches, and 2) I don't even think I can get it in town. I know I can't get it off limewire because I already tried.

Try getting a pirated version off eBay. Its usually $30ish.
When Paypal realizes its fake, they'll refund you. just make sure its not a virusy copy.

I could probably help you score a pirated version of Codewarrior, but that's about all I can help you with. Har har that's probably the best you can get right about now.
I'll start looking for it, if you want :D.

I'm not really into stealing $200 worth of software, but you can go ahead and look for it for me without my knowledge.

Mr.T, I would recommend against learning C++ at this point in time. Either learn straight C for the purpose of being able to code close to the hardware, or skip straight to C# or Java. C++ is really a beast that has been moved past for the most part. Most major applications are now built with managed code such as C#. Plus, if you learn C# or Java, those skills will allow you to quickly learn C++ if you ever really need to.

What is wrong with VS 2005 or GNU's GCC compiler? Both are pretty de-facto standards which are pretty standard compliant (VS 2005 and GCC are probably the most standard compliant out of the free compilers).
There is no reason to steal well-made software for the purpose of learning C++. Your applications will be trivial and will not require CodeWarrior for the most part. There are plenty of IDEs, like VS 2005, Eclipse, Kdevelop, etc that are gratis and work just as well.

I was joking about the pirated software thingy.
I was just interested in makeing my own videogame, and RPG Maker is out of the question since it wouldn't be an RPG. Java does look easier though, might start with that first. It's just that C++ will come in handy quite a bit with a project I hope to start in the future, somehwere within a year.
[EDIT] I'm thinking of downloading a Java Developer's Kit. There's the plain one, there's one with NetBeans 5.5, and there's one with Java EE. Which would you suggest?
