SDK: software development kit.

EE: enterprise edition (Which always make me wonder what sort of
enterprise - and if its number is NCC1701)

SE: standard edition.


The only difference I've seen between SE and EE is that EE has some
libraries that SE doesn't.
Therefore, if you need a sockets library and SE doesn't have it, look in
the EE library docs. If EE has it and you need it, you need EE. If not,
SE will do.
