Monkfish Software
Monkfish Software was founded in 2002 in Soest, the Netherlands. Gerben Abbink, the founder had already been working in software development for many years. He started this company, because of his believe that new technologies will be emerging and that programmers using these technologies should be supported in the best possible way. His understanding of programmers and his capability of finding all relevant information are still at the heart of our company.
A monkfish is a rather ugly, but very tasteful fish. Click on the image to see a photograph of the actual fish, taken on the fish market Quai des Belges in Marseille, France.
Our software product is XMLBlueprint XML Editor. We believe we can add a lot of our good ideas to XML editing to make it faster and more fun. We now have a large user group that is rapidly expanding. To improve on XMLBlueprint we launch a new version every few months, containing more and better support for the XML programmer. New versions are always around a common theme that is presented by our users. This way XMLBlueprint improves along the wishes of the users.
