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

## Who is this module for?

This module is for anyone looking to enhance their skills in virtual environments. While we will be discussing docker from the basics, 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.

## Module Structure

This module contains _nine_ chapters, namely:

1. __Why Docker?:__

    This chapter introduces us to docker. It also teaches us the benefits of using docker and what each of those benefits means. 

2. __Get Docker up and Running:__

    This chapter introduces us to the various docker products and how to install the correct one. 

3. __Basic Concepts:__

    This chapter goes through the basic concepts of docker, such as images, containers, and registries. 

4. __Use Docker Images:__

    This chapter teaches us about using docker images using the `docker run` command. It also teaches further concepts like running a server container and volumes. 

5. __Create Docker Images:__

     This chapter will teach us about creating Docker images and all the concepts related to them. This chapter will introduce us to making the Dockerfile and the commands we use in it to make the images. 

6. __Publish Docker Images:__

    This chapter will introduce us to registries, the Docker hub, and why we should publish images. It also teaches us how to publish an image and run it on another machine. 

7. __Forget SDK Installs:__

    This chapter tells us how we can use the same Docker commands to build, ship and deploy applications

8. __Docker with Common Development Profiles:__

    This chapter shows us how to use Docker with some common development profiles such as Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and .NET core.

9. __More About Docker Containers:__

    This chapter goes through some more concepts about Docker containers like restart mode, monitoring, reclaiming disks, and orchestration.
