Working with PHP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2011 - Helpful Resources

Its been a few weeks now that I've been working on PHP code to create entities with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. It's actually my first time to encounter Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, or any Customer Relations Management system for that matter, so there was a bit of a steeper learning curve and longer research time to create simple tasks from a PHP code into the CRM.

I've also learned that the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 is actually the cloud version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 which can be hosted on a Windows Server on-premise or online. The two have basically the same except that for CRM 2011, you need to purchase the subscription per user on an official Microsoft-hosted platform (http://www.dynamics.com), whereas in CRM 4.0, you can deploy it on a Windows server in your local office network (on-premise) or host it on a Windows server in the Internet (online).
