RIM and Adobe experts hosting 5 week series of webcasts dedicated to PlayBook development
Not being a developer, is this a normal scenario for new product? for example did Apple have developer webcasts or similar to entice developers?
This seems to give a warm fuzzy feeling that RIM are really going all out to have decent apps available at release.
Yes it is. Microsoft released silverlight and all of its app development tools shortly after WinPhone 7 was released along with the winphone7 envirnoment and Apple always releases the test versions of iOS to app devs shortly after an Announcement is made. RIM definitely is on the right track here.
