I want to learn basics of dynamics crm 2011 and 2013.
I have MS azure subscription where I do have access to Dynamics CRM virtual machines. These virtual machines have the following flavors for Dynamics CRM
GP 2013 Developer
GP 2013 R12
NAV 2015
GP 2015
Which one of the above 4 virtual machine setup should I use just to learn very basics of Dynamics CRM? Specially the jquery part and some customization.
I am very new at CRM but have lot of back ground in asp.net mvc c# programming.
I would use one of the SQL Server images and deploy everything on a single server if you want to test it out. Technically, it is not supported, but for evaluation purposes, this is the cheapest and easiest way.
Here's a tutorial that walks you through the steps for CRM 2013:

I would suggest to use trial CRM Online. You can register instance for you using following link - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-free-trial-overview.aspx

Our organization has Sharepoint 2019 Server (On-Premise) licenses (via some partner subscription) and have bought Standard CALs.
So now we must deploy Sharepoint Server 2019 that would be legal to work via Standard CALs, without enterprise services: Excel Services, BCS, e-Discovery etc, and Enterprise Search too.
Is it possible to create a fresh Sharepoint farm without Enterprise Search, but still be able to search content?
Sharepoint Foundation 2010, for instance, had its own Search, limited, but still functional.
Does 2019 still have some "Standard Search" and if yes, how do I deploy it?
SharePoint Standard CAL supports these standard search features such as people and expertise search, visual previews, visual best bets.
Create a search service application and do a full crawl for the first use.

where can I find official Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 or 2013 Instance Adapter ? for data synchronization between two CRM organization and migration to CRM Online ? Its missing on downloads.microsoft.com
It seems that Microsoft has removed CRM Instance Adapter feature and it's now being using the CRM 2013 SDK which has tool Configuration Migration Tool , that can transfer data from on-premise to another on-premise or CRM Online environment using xml/zip file with simple export/import.

Does anyone know if the API for Dynamics is the same for 2011 and 2013 or there are any differences between a hosted and on-premise install?
Most of the API (client-side and server-side) are the same between CRM 2011, CRM 2013 OnPremise e CRM Online.
Some API has been introduced in later rollups (like the ExecuteMultipleRequest shipped with Rollup 12) or with CRM 2013 (like the Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification() JavaScript).
CRM Online has also some limitations, like plugins and workflows only in sandbox and the FetchXML-only for Reports.
on MS CRM 4.0, we can add this web service as web reference:
http:///MSCrmServices/2007/CrmService.asmx
to get all CRM entities to our local,
actually i just want to create a class library project and add web reference to CRM web service, and get all original and my customized entities?
i knew the tool cmrsvcutil.exe (in CRMSDK) can generate all entities (includes customized), but the code is only for .NET 4.0.
can anybody help me?
*UPDATE***
finally i used CRMSDK4 and DynamicEntity to call CRM web service and update my customized eneties.
The CRM 2011 SDK is built on .NET 4 so you may have some trouble if you are working with an earlier version. Can you explain a little more about your application and needs as their are more web services in the 2011 version than there were in 4. It is best practice to use the SDK libraries to reference the service. If you want to use pre .NET 4 I would recommend using the CRM 4 SDK to connect to the CRM 4 endpoint that still exists for backwards compatibility. Note that this isn't a great solution in the long run as the next version likely will not support use of the CRM 4 web service.
To see the new 2011 service endpoints, log in to CRM, click on Settings > Customization > Developer Resources ->
Are there any differences between the OnPremise and Hosted versions of MS CRM 2011 besides price/licensing? Can I deploy solutions or any other custom features to the Hosted version or is that strictly reserved for the default functionality?
We are also considering trying to mold Sharepoint into being our CRM because we are already licensed for it but I'm going to try to reject that.
You can deploy plugins that run in the Sandbox environment in the CRM Online/Hosted environments. You can also deploy custom FetchXML-based reports to Hosted. The main things you can't do in a Hosted environment:
"Normal" plugins
SQL-based Reports
Direct database access (Filtered Views)
Custom .NET Workflow activities
And yes, SharePoint shouldn't be your CRM - CRM should be your CRM! :)
With rollup 12 it is now possible to use custom workflow activities in CRM online
