I've been programming pic microcontrollers in assembly and am advised that I would save a lot of time by learning C. Once I have a grasp of the language I would like to move on and master C++ and visual C++. This would allow me to create an application using embedded control and also control it with a GUI for example .
What is the best free c compiler to download to learn the language?

Reply:visual c express edition 2005 would be the best in my opinion.
Reply:I've never done microcontroller stuff myself, but I'd guess that Microsoft don't allow you to compile for pic chips with the free express version of their IDE.
I hear you can compile with SDCC using code::blocks, which is a popular IDE for C and C++ development. It comes with the GCC/MinGW compiler for Windows development. If you're a minimalist who doesn't like the idea of auto-completion, syntax highlighting and all those fancy drop-downs, then you might prefer to use a normal text editor and use SDCC from the command line.
