Yesterday at the MMUG in Mechelen (Belgium), I asked Waldo Smeets if there was more information on Zorn available. The answer was that the only information was that on the Macromedia website. A lot of people at the meeting also didn’t really know what it was about. So I decided to look up the available info and collect it in this post.

What is Zorn?

Zorn is the code name for a next-generation rich Internet application development tool currently being built by Macromedia. Zorn will leverage the Macromedia Flex framework and build on the success of the Macromedia Flex Server. Macromedia plans to develop Zorn using the Eclipse tools platform. In association with this project, Macromedia recently announced that it has joined the Eclipse Foundation, which manages the Eclipse project.
