Open Web Standards?

[challapradyumna]

What are the standards for developing a web application ?

XMPP - Realtime Communications
OAuth - Authentication
Openid - Authentication

Are there other standards?

There must be a ton of other standards, you'll probably come across them while doing the development.
btw..what kind of app are you making?

A social networking site . this is just for the learning experience not to become the next mark zuckerberg.

Try Drupal's 'commons' distribution, or any other social networking CMS.
Even if you want to create your own system, it'll help you in planning the features you need.

How far along have you gotten? Please keep updating this post with your progress.
