This is just a friendly reminder that RIM is starting their four part webinar series for WebWorks development on the BlackBerry PlayBook tomorrow. I think RIM plans on really focusing on WebWorks development for the PlayBook unlike the quasi environment it has in BlackBerry 6. You can tell they have their heart set on it since the rumored BlackBerry 6.1 OS details show quite a few feature updates for the browser and WebWorks environment. RIM sent over the whole schedule for the Webinar series which you can find below.
