    You're going to want to learn about web applications. There's a lot of topic associated with that so I suggest you dive head first. A good place to learn about the topics themselves is from a udacity course about web development. ~~I don't have the link but in about five minutes I'll get you…

    Check out the web development course on Udacity. You might want to just watch the videos or skip around since you already have some programming experience, but they go into all of this. They also address scalability which is critical for a social network.

    Yea. It touches on the important stuff. Another route you can take is an introductory CS class followed by a web development class. It'll give you the same skills as the odin project. I did the MITx(1.0/2.0) course on edX, and then took a the web dev course on Udacity.
