Create test app for API

Hi, 

I am trying to create a test app to test the API connectivity. I have gone to code.exacttarget.com and created and account. I then visit the app centre and choose the API Integration template. Provide some details. Then I am required to link it to an existing account. This is the part i get stuck on. I have a trial saleforce account and this dev account i'm using to post this. Neither work. How do i get to create a dev account just so i cat test the REST api's ?? The support is not that great and helping me as they just point me to GIT or API repositories. 

thanks.

When you create a free Salesforce Developer account you receive a complete and free installation of Salesforce, with sample data and everything, that you can use to experiment on.

Set up the account here if you haven't already: https://developer.salesforce.com/signup

Then log in with that account here: https://login.salesforce.com/

Also for most API stuff you need a Security Token. This should have been emailed to you when you signed up. If it wasn't you can reset it and get a new one here: https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=user_security_token.htm

Good luck!
