For wii, alot of people download the devKit pro (see here for tutorial - here. Also, some people chose to use Linux and its bash shell which will usually always include the GCC compiler if you install correctly. If you are on windows and want to use the GCC compiler, download cygwin here and install it though the internet. There are also several libraries avaliable for download to aid in software development, usually in C or/and C++. There are several other compilers that you could use. As a begginer GCC would be difficult but very good to learn at a young development age, DevKit pro is the only IDE that I can see that is free for the Nintendo Wii, you can purchase the SDK from nintendo for around $2000 USD. Once you have your environment set up, the only thing left to do is learn to program and use your compiler.

Programmers not pad is part of the IDE, it makes it much easier to write then compile your programs.
