MBSCake.jpgThis month we celebrate 25 years of Monkeybread Software.

In April 2000 I started my self employment with filling the business registration form. Originally I coded shareware applications, but since I got consulting clients in 2000 and needed to write invoices, I had to start a company and register as a business. 

In 2001 we needed more and more plugins in REALbasic for the various projects. We got a lot of plugins from Einhugur back then and Björn is still making Xojo plugins as of today! Since we needed more, I went into learning C++ and started my own plugin collection. Thanks to Thomas Tempelmann and others for some help to get started. Over the years we (co-)hosted 13 European Xojo conferences to bring together the developer community.

Later in 2006 we started the adventure into making a plugin for FileMaker. A couple of people asked over the years to port over some functions from my Xojo plugins to FileMaker and eventually Todd Geist persuaded me into making one. It took a few years to grow, but the popularity really toke off when I went to the FileMaker Konferenz2012 in Salzburg and the FileMaker DevCon in 2013 in San Diego. Once people saw the plugin, they loved it and our business grew.

The Monkeybread Software name came from Matt Ronge, my former US business partner. We separated a few years later and he's now busy as the Cofounder and CEO of Astropad.

There will be a big party here near the office and we invited hundreds of clients, friends and family. If you like to join and you miss an invitation, you can contact us and ask whether your invitation got lost.

If you need a new license for MBS Plugins, we have a special offer for April: Use coupon code Birthday for a 20% discount.

See you at the party or the next conference!
