Is there a trial version of Microsoft Sharepoint for website development? - sharepoint

I am asp.net developer and want to learn microsoft sharepoint for website development.
Is there a trial version of MOSS 2007 available that I can install? And what should be the best approach for installing and learning.

Yes.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Trial Version
This is the x86 version of Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007 Trial
for Standard and Enterprise editions.

You can download the trial Sharepoint VHD
Sharepoint 2007 VHD

I would suggest you definitely had a look at two resources:
http://myrampup.com
and
http://mssharepointdeveloper.com
Both sites contain a lot of great resources which can help you understand what SharePoint is about from the developer point of view.

Here is the Link for 180 day evaluation Sharepoint 2010 VHD

migartion sharepoint web application sharepoint 2013 to sharepoint online

actually i tried to migrate lists and document libraries from one site to another site in sharepoint 2013 and migrate sites also from 2010 to sharepoint 2013. But,I want to migrate web application from sharepoint 2013 to sharepoint online.
We are limited to creating Site collections only in SharePoint online. You cannot create/migrate the complete web application to SharePoint online in one go. You would have to migrate either a complete site collection or site level.
I have experience migrating with SharePoint migration tool from Microsoft (which is free software) and it worked well.
However, i would suggest to migrate individual site level as it would be easy to manage. I have tried migrating a site collection which failed after 40% and it was difficult to debug where the error was. I later figured it was the nintex form on a document library that was a culprit.
Good luck with your project!
You may use below methods to create apps
Using SharePoint Apps ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/get-started-creating-provider-hosted-sharepoint-add-ins )
Use the latest SPFx framework (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/sharepoint-framework-overview) to create apps.

What are the limitations of Office 365 trial version in terms of development?

I am a SharePoint developer. We are planning to migrate SharePoint server 2013 site to Office 365. As of now we are using Office trial version for development. Can any please tell me what are the limitations of Office 365 trial version in terms of development?
Thank you
There's no difference - the trial is just time-limited.
25GB max for site folders, cant purchase add'l storage w/o a subscription

What is the minimum office 2013 edition that can be used for VSTO development?

I only need to develop for Excel and maybe word, so would Office Home edition installed on the development machine be enough? or Professional is the minimum that can be used for development?
I am using Visual Studio 2012.
If you want to use the extensions (and you do want to use the extensions), you'll need to buy any commercial version.
However, if you're open to a trial version, you have always the option of installing a virtual machine (for testing purposes, of course).
Also - you wrote minimum office 2013 edition Is that a typo? I'm assuming you refer to VS. Correct?
You can sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site at: msdn.
breadcrumb: Start building apps for Office and SharePoint > Sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site
They'll offer you "1-year Office 365 Developer Subscription as a benefit" to build and test apps for the Office and SharePoint stores.
Alternatively, you can buy an Office 365 developer subscription (with one user license). This subscription costs $99.00 per year.
Hope this helps.

Difference between Office 365 preview and sharepoint online

I am new to sharepoint online. At first I need to know the difference between sharepoint online and office 365 preview.
Preview site: https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Admin/Default.aspx which looms like below.
I have also the below site
Now what is the difference between the two. My goal is to create apps and webparts. Which one shall i choose? I have not installed sharepoint 2013 server/ sharepoint foundation. Can i create apps and webparts without installing server2013/foundation2013?
The Office365 Preview is running on the new SharePoint 2013 platform. If you want to build and monetize apps/web parts, you would need to go with this option, as it is the
latest and greatest.
Go to http://dev.office.com to get all of the resources you need including links to the software, tutorials, documentation, etc...
Microsoft provides a free Office365 portal specifically for developers who want to build apps on the online platform. With this, all you would need is Visual Studio 2012 and the SharePoint/Office SDK installed to build apps. You would deploy and debug directly on the online portal without needing SharePoint installed on your environment.
I hope this helps.

Can I use SharePoint 2010 Foundation as a public facing site?

With Moss 2007, we had WSS on our servers so that we could use some basic functionality of SharePoint without purchasing a license. We also created a number of public facing sites on WSS for clients who didnt want to purchase a full fledged license for MOSS 2007. I got some news that SP Foundation 2010 cannot be used as a public facing site. Is it true?
See the following SO question:
Sharepoint 2010 Foundation licenses
I am not a guru of MS licensing, but as far as I know, there is an "external connector license" that has to be purchased when you make a SharePoint server available on internet.
It means that you have to purchese an external connector license for your SQL server as well, if it is on a separate machine.
You will find more information here:
