This public release marks the inclusion of new content based on tons of customer and partner feedback, and includes the following big ticket items:

• Short video BluePrints
• Five New Training Modules
• Updated Product Signatures
• Onsite Training Program
• "Drop-In" System Center Samples

This program and associated resource kit derived from a clear need of our customers to gain a better understanding of what developer software is installed in a desktop environment, determine how many "developers" are present in the organization based on these results, and report all of the findings in a clear, simple manner. The Developer Desktop Inventory Kit, known as the DDIK, is a targeted content resources kit aimed at addressing this need, and is delivered via either self-help or formal partner-led training.

Developed by David Baliles & James Chittenden, members of the Microsoft Public Sector Developer Platform team, the DDIK 3.0 hopes to provide our customers and partners with an appropriate Best Practice for managing Developer Desktops.
