Need a Good Compiler for C++ & Java

Actually its not for me but for my friend. He told me to search for a good compiler. I don't think he meant IDE. He needs it for college stuff.

But basically, what is the difference between the both?

Compiler

C
*wikidot.fosspowered.com/programming:c:tutorial:setupcompiler

Java
*java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp
(I recommend to use package manager if you use Linux for installing JDK)

IDE:
*wikidot.fosspowered.com/editors:geany

Will work for both C and Java
And sure read this while learning C/C++: *www.gidnetwork.com/b-56.html

Good luck

P.S.: The C tutorial will work for C++ as well

Well done, Liverpool_fan! Really good resources.

I wonder if the C compiler wiki has been written by you (there is a Liverpool club logo in one of the images!)

Depending on the meaning of the word "good", I would suggest you these:

Most optimized and fastest for Intel CPUs: Intel's C/C++ compiler (which you/your friend can get for free if you obtain an Academic license)

Most standards compliant: GCC

Most integrated with IDE for debugging: MS VC++ (Express edition is free, Professional can be gotten free via an Academic license)

For the first two compilers I'd suggest Eclipse as the IDE.
