developer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'software creator' is the definition.
'developer' can be an answer for 'creator' (developer is a kind of creator). I'm not sure about the 'software' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for developer that I've seen before include "solution for picture-maker" , "that produces positive results" , "kind of entrepreneur" , "It creates image" , "Property magnate" .)
