Course Description
This course will show you how to build a custom Orchard module, from the initial creation of the module all the way through publishing it to the Orchard Gallery. Along the way we'll learn a lot of concepts and techniques for Orchard module development. The topic of our module will be Movies. By the end of the course, we'll be able to enter, edit and view Movie content items in Orchard. We'll also be able to enter Actors with a many-to-many relationship to movies. And we'll implement some advanced features like importing movies from an external service, and automatically displaying similar movies to the user based on a Lucene search.
