First, let us say here, why we prefer to use SDK over anything else:
• Because it doesn't need any additional framework.
• Because it produces the smallest and fastest EXE code.
• Because it gives us direct access to the power of the core Windows API.
• Because it is stable, and uses a coding syntax that has not changed since a decade.
• Because it is the only common denominator to all the programming languages we are using.
• And because, once your learned it, then you learned it for ever!
