Why should I take this course or care about Docker?

Docker is here, and it’s changed the world. If you want the best jobs working with the best technologies, you need to know Docker and containers. They’re even central to Kubernetes, and a strong Docker skill set will help you learn Kubernetes. Docker and containers are also well-positioned for emerging cloud technologies such as WebAssembly and AI workloads.

Breakdown of chapters

Each chapter covers theory and includes plenty of commands and examples. Most of the chapters are divided into three parts:

  • The TLDR: It provides you two or three paragraphs that you can use to explain the topic during the coffee break. They’re also a great way to remind yourself what something is about.

  • The Deep Dive: It explains how things work and gives examples.

  • The Commands: It lists all the relevant commands in an easy-to-read list with brief reminders of what each one does.

I think you’ll love that format.

Playgrounds

For most of the lessons, we will provide you with playgrounds, like the one given below, at the end of the lesson to help you implement what you have learned so far.

You don’t need to configure anything in the playground. You will be all set to go. Any additional instructions needed for a playground will be provided beforehand.
