Creating plugin for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

Question

I am very new to Microsoft CRM , (working first time) and have requirement to call one custom webservice whenever new Account is created in Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2013.

Response returned from webservice needs to be stored as csv file in Files section of new account. Can anyone provide basic guideline how we can achieve this?

Here is a good link for getting started with writing a plug-in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328263.aspx (The link points to CRM 2011, but this is compatible with 2013 and is a good place to get started.)

You'll also want to download the SDK. Provided with the SDK are tools for deploying the plugin, examples of plugins and much, much more. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40321

The CSV file will also be stored as an annotation. Here's an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328429.aspx

Really, I'd start with the SDK and then look to the specific links.
