IFBIN - Great Software By Example

The IFBIN Service Beta 2 installer has been posted for Windows. This version fixes over 35 bugs and compatibility issues. The new beta adds a Flex™ RIA for exploring IFBIN products.

IFBIN Service Beta 2 Installer (release 6)

What is the IFBIN Service?
The IFBIN Service provides installation and licensing services for IFBIN subscription content. All the content in Flash(R) by Example and Flex(R) by Example is installed through the IFBIN Service.

The IFBIN Service is an HTTP Server that uses a proprietary archive format for installation, download, and verification of example content. We created our own archive format to provide additional security for end users of our products. The archive format requires a digital signature to enable decryption of the file contents on a per user basis. This unique signature allows the IFBIN Service to authenticate the contents of each file prior to installation. If one byte is out of place, the content will not install on your machine and will lock-down the example on the network.

Currently the Flash® by Example product provides access to all "Hello World" examples and to several free examples. We are planning to launch the Flash® by Example in the next 2 weeks. We had a delay due to beta 1 but we are back on track with this release.

I look forward to your feedback. Please email all issues and questions to me directly at ted@ifbin.com.

Much more to come!
