Docker for the Absolute Beginners

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications, whether on laptops, data center VMs, or the cloud.

This course introduces Docker to an Absolute Beginner using really simple and easy to understand lectures. Lectures are followed by demos showing how to setup and get started with Docker. The coding exercises that accompany this course will help you practice Docker commands and developing your own images using Dockerfiles and practice Docker Compose. You will be developing Docker files for different use cases right in your browser. This way you don’t really need to have your own environment setup to get some hands on practice. The coding exercises will validate your commands and Dockerfiles and ensure you have written them correctly.

And finally we have assignments to put your skills to test. You will be given a challenge to solve using the skills you gained during this course. This is a great way to gain a real life project experience and work with the other students in the community to develop a Dockerfile and get feedback for your work. The assignment will push you to research and develop your own Docker images.

This is an excellent course! Mumshad explains the Docker concepts very clearly in well structured and relatively short video lectures. The online hands-on labs of the course (based on Katakoda) are a great way for students to learn-by-doing the concepts and commands that were presented during the lectures.

Very good course. I started as an absoulte beginner, and now I can imagine, how the Docker works and how it can be used. The "labs" also helped me, it is always good to test the environment by your own hands.
