Sweet little program the work of creative types (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
apple tart
'sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'little program the work of creative types' is the wordplay.
'little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'program' becomes 'applet'.
'the work of creative types' becomes 'tart' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'applet' with its final letter taken off is 'apple'.
'apple'+'tart'='APPLE-TART'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apple tart that I've seen before include "Pastry" , "Dessert" , "Sweet" .)
