Embarcadero.com is giving away free C++ and Delphi compilers - both are Home editions. Delphi, if you aren't familiar with it, is object oriented Pascal.
If you're interested in both, grab Delphi first. Not only is it the better product, but I've also discovered that with C++ on my computer, Delphi won't install. I can't even uninstall C++ and get Delphi to install. Each time I try, C++ reinstalls. There's some sort of a bug.
My wife, on the other hand, had no problem installing Delphi on her laptop. I figure it's because she never installed C++.
These are NOT the the trial versions of the packages. They're the real thing, Home edition, each valued at over $200. Go to the site, pull up the product info and click on 'Buy Now.' You'll see that the "Starter" version has been discounted to $0.00.
It won't require a credit card. You'll just need to provide an e-mail address, to which the software license will be sent.
