First start a Dynamics CRM Online trial from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-free-trial-overview.aspx

After you download the latest CRM 2013 SDK from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40321

After you can use this code (simplified connection) to connect and create an account:

CrmConnection crmConnection = CrmConnection.Parse("Url=https://XXX.crm.dynamics.com; Username=user@domain.onmicrosoft.com; Password=passwordhere;");
OrganizationService service = new OrganizationService(crmConnection);

Entity account = new Entity("account");
account["name"] = "Test Account";

Guid accountId = service.Create(account); 

Refers to this msdn article for create the right connection string
