Systems Development Kit

An SDK is a group of tools that help developer's create files/software. Like Mozilla's XPToolkit that helps develop cross-platform ui's. Or Sun's JDK (Java DK) that assists creation of Java

There's talk of evil companies creating SDKs that ease the process so far that you don't learn enough and are tied into the language for all eternity

uhuh

(perhaps they should've put random crahes, messy interface, to ensure none of that)
