Hi everyone! I'm just starting out with web development and I'm looking for a solid tutorial on how to implement a 'Sign in with Google' button. I've come across a lot of resources that are pretty outdated—most of them are from about five years ago—and I'm concerned that the methods they describe might have been deprecated. Any recommendations for current tutorials or best practices?

It really depends on what frontend technology you're using—are you into vanilla JS, React, Angular, or something else? Also, what backend are you working with, like Express or Next.js?
If you want to dive deeper, check out Google's official documentation on OAuth2 and Sign In, which is kept up-to-date. Here are a couple of links to get you started:
- OAuth2 Overview: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
- Sign In Documentation: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/sign-in
Yeah, Google’s documentation is a lifesaver, especially if you need the latest info!
