Visual Basic for Kids
File size: 540K
License: shareware ($19.95)
Minimum requirements: Windows 95, Visual Basic 4.0 runtime module

If you've ever wanted to learn how to write your own Visual Basic
applications, or maybe you have some precocious preteens who do, you're
in luck. The folks from KIDware have come up with Visual Basic for Kids,
an interactive tutorial designed for the entire family. Made up of ten
separate lessons, each chock-full of activities and examples, Visual
Basic for Kids can help budding young programmers of all ages get a head
start on the subtleties of VB--provided they can perform basic operations
on the computer, of course. Make sure you have a copy of Visual Basic 4.0
or better before you get started. Start with the basics:

HOMESITE

Minimum requirements: Windows 95/NT 4.0

Even professional Web editors would be lost without the right tools of
the trade. Allaire HomeSite already has a reputation as the professional
editing tool of choice, and the upcoming version 4.0 promises to make a
good thing even better. Some of the new features you can try in this
preview version include a redesigned editor with multilanguage support
(HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VB Script, SQL, and Perl), custom color coding,
bookmarking, a new style sheet editor, and customizable keyboard
shortcuts. New Tag Inspector and Tag Tree features display the current
tag and show a customizable outline of HTML documents, while the Design
View feature enables visual page layout. Talk home improvement:

MACRO MAGIC 4.0
Size: 799K
License: shareware ($39.95)
Minimum requirements: Windows 95/NT

How many times have you felt more burdened by your computer than
liberated by it? Simple system maintenance can gobble up precious time,
and once you're actually working, it's easy to waste time repeating the
same keystrokes over and over to boot. Save yourself from that brand of
drudgery with Macro Magic. Version 4.0 adds a clever new feature that
lets you use the same keystrokes in different programs to do different
tasks, greatly increasing the number of macros you can create. Even more
computing efficiency:
