Default Glass door

Im going to make a wooden frame door with glass center. I read in my
book that hardwood tends to expand and contract and will cause a door to
end up crooked. It recommends plywood or mdf or something.

Is this true? What about soft wood? I am currently planning to use
solid pine for the door frame. Should I try plywood pine? Im
intimidated by veneering.
