Which edition is best for Lightning app development?

Hi,

We are trying to develop a Lightning application. Following link tells Professional edition doesn't support Lightning component development. https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer15/release-notes/rn_lightning.htm 

I created a 30 day trial version of Enterprise edition using the following link https://www.salesforce.com/in/editions-pricing/sales-cloud/ but in company details it say as 'Professional edition' yet I was able to create Lightning component but not apex class.

Both are contradicting. Please guide me.
