The Oculus SDK is C++, but I'm sure there are bindings for many languages. Probably the easiest way to get started is with C# in Unity. If anyone is feeling adventurous, you can even access it in JavaScript! https://github.com/DanAndersen/cupola

If I recall correctly, a devkit comes with a limited license key (1 year?) for Unity 3D. That was the case for DK1.

From the FAQ: https://support.oculusvr.com/hc/en-us/articles/201835987

Q: I received a Unity Pro Trial code with my purchase of the original Oculus Rift Development Kit. Will I receive another code after my purchase of Oculus Rift Development Kit 2?

A: There are no plans to offer a Unity Pro Trial code with Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 purchases at this time.
