The social login for twitter and google is interesting but Facebook login is concerning more on custom plugin. It would have been great if only javascript/jQuery would have used to login and server side would be just APIs. The integration of server side to implement is useful only for PHP developers not for other languages developers!

Pros: The voices of the instructors were pleasant to listen to, and there is a 30-day-no-questions-asked money back guarantee. Cons: The content is extremely outdated. I'm leaving this review in April of 2015, and some of the content is at least 3 years old. Every single one of the APIs discussed have gone through significant changes. Google has completely deprecated the method used in this tutorial for authentication. The course *does not* walk you through using the various social login APIs - which is what I was expecting based on the description and video for this course. Instead, it demonstrates how to use PHP to interact with some publicly available libraries to use the social login APIs. The course description and video - at the time I signed up - gave no indication that this course was all in PHP. I am not using PHP, I'm not going to use PHP, and therefore the overwhelming majority of the course was not at all relevant. Disclose this kind of thing!! In addition to PHP, the Facebook section was specifically about using the CodeIgniter MVC framework. I'm already not using PHP, however among the subset of students who are using PHP, no indication is given prior to paying for the course that you must also be using the PHP CodeIgniter MVC framework. The course contained duplicate material. For example, two lectures (#5 and #15) are about using Composer (what I now know is a dependency management tool for PHP). Both cover the same material, but they are not identical recordings. If you are going to use PHP and Composer, then the setup and use of Composer should have been part of and introductory section. The videos are long - much longer than they need to by - because they either mistype, miss steps, or just have no idea what things are for (which at least one of them admits to in at least one place). There is a distractingly obvious lack of a written script, which leads to much rambling, lots of self-correction, incredibly long pauses (I had to check and make sure the video was still playing several times) and excessive use of fillers like "umm". The code does not appear to have been tested or the steps completely vetted before the recording was made. And instead of stopping the recording, figuring things out, and starting the lecture over, they keep rolling, resulting in lectures that are 10+ minutes long that could have been less than 5 minutes.
