 Note that any data changes you make will not be persisted if you **docker remove** the SQL Server container. The Docker container for SQL Server will be recreated and seeded on the next **docker run**. In other scenarios, you might be using Docker volumes to persist or share the database across container instances but that's overkill for this demo.

 ## 4. Developer Notes
 
-If you're new to this kind of application development, and you have a Pluralsight subscription, I strongly advise you to learn about [SOLID principles](https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/csharp-solid-principles) and various [code smells and refactoring techniques](https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/refactoring-csharp-developers). You'll find the background in these principles informs most of the design decisions used in the individual classes and projects used in the sample code provided here. If you're really serious about learning these topics, watch the original versions of these courses, which were able to go into more depth (more recent courses need to be shorter since Pluralsight found too many students didn't complete longer courses. But not *you* - you have what it takes to finish the whole thing. Right?). They're available from [Steve's author page on Pluralsight](https://www.pluralsight.com/authors/steve-smith).
