- 3S Web Tools v2.5. Web Developer's Joy. — The website development is a strange thing. Unlike other programming and near-programming activities, webdev requires much more of good taste, common sense, and wish to «do well» rather than strong programming skills. And even when some (or more) of programming IS required, such tasks are rather routine and only require time and accuracy, not…
- InterBase/Firebird Development Studio 5.1.3. Database Designer. — There is an amazing integrated suite for working with Interbase and Firebird, obviously named InterBase/Firebird Development Studio.

- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.)

- SWF Toolbox 3.1.12, Obedient Flash — The Flash (SWF) and Flash Video (FLV) file formats are very common and useful on the Web.

In this case, you can do virtually any conversion with…

A personal homepage of an Oxford professor or New-York worker «is a website»? Then, what does it mean «to create a web-site»? OK, let’s turn back from the…
- Fairy Christmas Day 3D Screensaver 1.0, Saving Screen, Saving Mood — Screen-savers became popular in the good old days when they addressed an important, even vital, problem of — you’ll laugh! — saving the screen. In those sad old days, CRT screens had to change their picture frequently enough to prevent pixel burnout. Those sad times are long gone, and nowadays screensavers are just an entertainment…
- Flash2X Flash Hunter - just save a Flash movie you found on the web and enjoy it later — Today’s Internet is full of Flash movies of all sorts. A great part of them are useless ad banners, but it’s not at all uncommon to come across real masterpieces, as well as short movies, trailers, teasers and other kinds of content that you would gladly save on your hard drive and watch later. Unfortunately, most…
- ClockIt: Easy Schedule Creator - Save Time, Save Nature — How many pencils do you wear out each month on putting up a shift schedule for your staff? A similar question about the number of sleepless night hours spent over the same job would probably be an excess. How about «hiring» an automatic (well, almost) schedule creator? — That would bring that scheduling hassle to the end…
- Flash Slider - create dynamic Flash slideshows in minutes! — Flash-based slideshows can be used in a number of ways. A business demonstration, a portfolio, a romantic present for your significant other showing your best moments together — all this can be quickly done in Flash and hosted on a website for efficient sharing.
