Both sharepoint server and sharepoint foundation run in same machine?

Does it work if both sharepoint foundation and sharepoint server installed in a single machine?
No.
Have you thought of using Virtual Machines (such as Hyper-V or VirtualBox) to do this?
Looking at the way you tagged your question, the answer is that it depends.
If you are talking about the same SharePoint version (Foundation 2010 and Server 2010 for example), then just install Server and you'll have everything that Foundation offers as well because SharePoint Server includes SharePoint Foundation. SharePoint Server just adds more services on top of what Foundation provides. There is no need to install both.
If you are talking about having Foundation 2007 and Server 2010, for example, where there are fundamentally different versions of SharePoint being installed, then no, install these on different servers as different Farms.

Environment setting & development tools for my SharePoint 2013 project

I want to start my first SharePoint project to build internal and external systems:-
So I am preparing to get the following to set the development environment and to publish live SharePoint applications:-
SharePoint Server 2013 Standard edition. As for now we do no need
the enterprise features such as e-discover, BI, branding, etc.
Windows server 2012 & IIS as the operating system and hosting server respectively.
SQL server 2012 or 2008 for the database
Visual studio professional 2012 to develop web parts and use SharePoint templates.
Team foundation server 2012 to provides versioning control, bug tracing, etc.
So can anyone advice if I am missing any tools or software that are needed to develop and implement live internet & intranet SharePoint applications.
Second question should I use office 365 in my case?
Best Regards
It seems like it's sufficient enough to start developing SharePoint applications. You may need SharePoint Designer 2013. You can also find the best-to-have hardware requirements for SharePoint development environment in my blog post (http://keremozen.com/2012/12/28/hardware-requirements-for-sharepoint-2013-development/).
Office 365 or on-prem installation choice totally depends on your needs.
Office 365 installation provides easy set-up, maintainability, scalebility and security. Your sites will be accessible 24x7. If you want full control on your sites you can prefer on-prem installation.

Sharepoint 2010 Programming, How to start (Licencing)

I had a question: I wanted to begin programming in Sharepoint and I thought I could get some pointers in which of Sharepoint 2010 Foundation, Sharepoint 2010 Client... etc to download so I can learn to program for Sharepoint.
Thanks and Regards.
If you want to install Sharepoint 2010 foundation you should read this post:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee554869(v=office.14).aspx
It worked properly to me
First of all, I suggest you to create your own SharePoint trial site on O365, so that you don't have to install on Premises. Then, do video tutorials from which you can learn quickly. After you are comfortable, you can install SharePoint on Premises.
At this date you are probably better off with SharePoint 2013 but it doesn't really matter.
Install SharePoint 2010 foundation or 2013 foundation from WPI (Web Platform Installer). Also install Visual Studio from WPI if you dont already have it.
Use a Server Os, running SharePoint in Windows 7 is possible but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. You must have a 64-bit enterprise or ultimate version of win 7 in such case. If you insist on win7 here is the official documentation on how to do this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sharepoint/ee554869(v=office.14)
Youtube is your friend when it commes to how to startup with SharePoint development. Browse, Look, Read.
Good luck
If you would want to install SharePoint 2010, first install it in your virtual machine I would recommend to use first chapter of the book "Real World SharePoint 2010: Indispensable Experiences from 22 MVPs". It contains information about how to install SharePoint 2010.
Microsoft provides all related softwares like Windows Server, SharePoint Server, Sql Server free for trial purposes for a period of 180 days. The only thing where you have to invest is in a good hardware.
You may download evaluation version of sp2010 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-sharepoint-server-2010
To create virtual machine you might want to download VMware Player which is a virtualization software package supplied free of charge by VMware, Inc.
If you don't want to spend time on installing SharePoint you may use something like cloudshare or microsofts own windows azure.
There are plenty of videos on YouTube on SharePoint which help you understand basics of SharePoint 2010 and to begin programming on SharePoint 2010.

Sharepoint's installation

I'm a newbie in Sharepoint 2010 and need some help.
I have downloaded two programs från Microsoft Academy for students
*SharePoint Designer 2010 (x86 - English)
*SharePoint Server 2010 (x64) - DVD (English)
Which of these programs do I need I started installing?
I also heard that you need to have a server in order to use Sharepoint. In my case I only have a Dell laptop (XPS M1710) with XP pro.
can I still use Sharepoint with full utilization without using a server?
// Fullmetalboy
SharePoint 2010 Server is 64-bit only, and can only be installed on a Windows Server unless you do a SKU Hack. Even then, I doubt it will want to install on Windows XP. Vista or Windows 7 is going to be required.
The designer is used purely as a simple content editor for an existing SharePoint installation.

Developing Sharepoint on a Mac

I have a MacBook Pro, fairly new, intel based, 4G RAM. I may need to work on a Sharpoint project, so I'm assuming I'll need Visual Studio and Sharpoint Designer. Is using VMware an option, if so, what Microsoft OS should i use, and what general VMware settings should I use (RAM and disk size).
VMware Fusion is a good option.
As to Microsoft OSes for SharePoint development, you have two choices: Windows Server 2003/2008 or Windows 7.
I've been developing with a Windows Server 2003 VM for SharePoint for about a year. I'm still using Server 2003 because it matches our dev/qa/prod environments.
I would agree with the post above that VMWare is a good choice. As for what OS if your are doing true enterprise level SharePoint development then you will need 2003/2008 however you can run WSS on vista. As for using SharePoint designer I would avoid it for SharePoint 2007 development and instead focus on getting a solid solution structure defined and use some tools like WSPBuilder and your be off to a good start. If your doing SharePoint 2010 SharePoint designer has got a lot better and the new support in Visual Studio 2010 for SharePoint is great.
