UPDATE (2017-11-22): Dojo Course 2 is released with new, updated videos!

The fifth lesson of Dojo Course will teach you more about module development: how to build your own logic that is able to store data and what are the basic services that aid you in your work.

• A quick recap of the last lesson: command line scaffolding, creating a controller and a view, dependency injection
• Using the IWorkContextAccessor and exploring the WorkContext (and the HttpContext inside) object: content parts and items everywhere!
• Attaching the debugger to the IIS Express worker process
• How to display CLRExceptions in VS to see the exceptions that otherwise would be swallowed somewhere in the stack: Ctrl+D,E and check the "Thrown" checkbox
• Using the INotifier service
• Property injection: Localizer and Logger
• How to properly structure your T-strings to make them bulletproof agains translations: String.Format
• Routing in MVC and defining custom parameters
• Basic data storage: creating a record class (which is the OO representation of our data) and a migration class to define the table schema
• Looking at the DB after the migration to see what our code did there
