Social Design Patterns
The documentation in this wiki has been arranged in a series of tracks, grouped by the style of development they describe. Depending on what type of application you want to write, one of the following patterns should fit your needs.
Social Mashup
A social mashup is a lightweight OpenSocial application which runs inside of a social network. Because such applications do not rely on a server, they typically scale extremely well but may be limited in terms of data storage and/or processing. A social mashup is typically created using <u>HTML</u>, <u>JavaScript</u>, <u>CSS</u>, <u>OpenSocial Templates</u> HTML, JavaScript, CSS, OpenSocial Templates, and/or <u>Flash</u>.

Social Application
A social application runs inside of a social network but relies on an external server for processing and rendering data. These applications can provide advanced functionality but may run into scaling problems when they become very popular. Social applications can be created using a variety of technologies, including <u>HTML</u>, <u>JavaScript</u>, <u>CSS</u>, <u>OpenSocial Templates</u>, <u>Flash</u>, <u>PHP</u>, <u>Python</u>, <u>Java</u>, <u>Perl</u>, <u>.NET</u>, or <u>Ruby</u>.

Social Website / Social Mobile Application
Social websites and social mobile applications run outside of social networks but consume social data through REST or RPC APIs. Users of these apps can grant access to their data using 3-legged OAuth without needing to add an application on a social network. This design pattern grants the most flexibility - almost all languages and platforms can take advantage of this data.
