How to get Microsoft CRM for Development Purposes?

I am a recent graduate, who has done some work experience at a company developing/designing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Solutions. I have moved on from there and have no official ties anymore. However, I do see the future in this product and I would like to keep developing solutions and increasing my development knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Taking into account the above and that I have a job in a different IT area. As well as the fact that I am determined to start this from scratch... What are my options?

My intentions for the future(1-3 yrs) is to develop Microsoft CRM 2013 Solutions and hopefully sell to local small businesses.

Try the Demo Builder:

http://demobuilder.cloudapp.net/unauthenticated-home/#

It's a Wizard base tool that will guide you through the process of setting up an online demo environment.

There are a bunch of templates that you can select from that will give you a good idea of the different scenarios where CRM can be deployed.

I think your best bet would be to get an online subscription. Your solution's code should be 100% compatible with the new CRM APIs in the SDK. Running everything from an online CRM solution would ensure it will work. This will also ensure that when the next version is released, you will be ready for it.

Unless Microsoft changes their licensing, this might be your only reasonably priced choice.
