How do I implement OpenID in my web application?

Question

Does Stackoverflow create a new OpenID when a user registers with an email address (i.e. does not provide an existing OpenID)? How do you do that? Do you have code examples in C#? Java? Python?

You can find OpenID implementations here. If you just want more information, I would check out the OpenID site.

The Plaxo OpenID recipe (from the OpenID site) was one of the better howtos I've seen.

Not sure how out of date that recipe is but I've updated the link to the Web Archive of it. – Mark Biek Jan 15 '14 at 13:42

Scott Hanselman posted a while back about setting up OpenID in .net.

I think you are mis-understanding OpenID, the process of registering and OpenID is the responsibility of the user, you'll note that there is no place to signup here without an OpenID.
