Hopefully you'll also have a webinar for Java development soon. I feel that without the browser update (WebKit), this webinar will only be boxed into having tiny pages with a limited number of fields and graphics and lack of JavaScript functionality.

 

I could be wrong but I will register to check it out. Thanks for taking the time to provide one.
