Introduction to ASP.NET MVC 6 (Video 16)

The video tutorial covers logging in ASP.NET 5, starting with an introduction to the logging setup using the logger factory. It demonstrates how to implement custom logging in an API by injecting the ILogger and ILoggerFactory. The tutorial also explores configuring Serilog for custom logging sources, enhancing the console logs. The video concludes with a summary of the logging integration process, emphasizing the built-in capabilities of ASP.NET 5 for logging without relying on external libraries like log4net.
