Web 2.0 is a buzzword, so (as others have said) there's no one single
method for developing web 2.0 applications, nor indeed a solid definition
of what a web 2.0 application is.

But certainly certain development methodologies are often *associated*
with web 2.0. Look into "Agile development" (release early and release
often). Certain technologies are very fashionable in web 2.0: AJAX is
very popular, so is JSON; the use of emerging scripting languages like
Ruby and Python is common too. Also, Google for "prototype.js" and
"script.aculo.us".

A lime green logo and a light grey diagonally stripey background are
essentials.
