coffee house named "The Raven & The Sparrow" where he was offering espresso coffee. In coffee house he was
offering free internet café as well. It was the only place in whole Texas City offering free internet and that’s
why his café was very famous. Once he bought domain www.coffeecup.com
to create website for his coffee shop and internet café. He started designing his website. He
used Notepad to code his website. Output was so good that people started contacting him to assist with
website designing. Then he thought that there is a chance to start Software Development Company and announced
coffee cup software.
Nicholas started software Development Company in 1996 at same place where he had coffee shop and free internet.
One after another, success of his development has put him at height in software segment. First he was creating
websites using Notepad only but then after that he thought about creating software which can directly and easily
create websites. That was the idea behind evolvement of HTML editor. Nicholas Longo and fellow programmer, who was
his regular customer at coffee shop, created website designing software and named it as "HTML editor". Ever since
then, many versions of HTML editor can out and each one has features much advanced then earlier version. Firs
version of HTML is also known as coffeecup HTML. They named company as Coffee cup software because everything was
