As far as I can tell you'll be happy with the Knudsen compilers CC5X/CC8E, at least I'm very pleased with these. The demo-versions are free, and for small projects you won't hit the (demo-)limitations very soon. It comes with a number of examples but there are also examples on Piclist and other places like my site.
