Master everything you need to know about Docker containers to easily create, deploy, and run your applications with containers.

DevOps for Developers

By now, you've probably heard the buzz around Docker. It's fundamentally changed the development process and been adopted by software teams of all sizes, and for good reason: Docker makes it considerably easier to create, deploy, and run applications with the use of containers.

Docker is here to stay, and is becoming one of the most in-demand technologies on the market. Mastering it now will help you produce better software, level up your career, and stand out from the crowd. Get started today.

Docker for Developers

# What to expect 

This course is an interactive version of my book, *Learn Docker - .NET Core, Java, Node.JS, PHP or Python*.

I tried my best to keep this course small so that you can learn Docker quickly without getting lost in minute details. If you are looking for a reference course with answers to the questions you may have within the next years of your Docker practice, you'll find heavy books for that.

My goal is to quickly provide you with the tools you need to create and run your first containerized application using Docker, then be able to look for more by yourself when needed. While some authors seem to pride themselves on having the longest course, in this series, I'm glad I achieved the shortest possible course for my purpose. I tried my best to keep all of what I think is necessary, based on my 16-years of teaching.

# Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, you must have basic experience creating applications with **one** of the following technologies: .NET Core, Java, Node.JS, PHP, or Python.

# How to read this course

This course hopes to make you productive as quickly as possible. For this, we'll use some theory, several demonstrations, and a few exercises.

Exercises appear as follows:
