From Zero to Hero: Docker for Developers
The skill every developer needs to have
About This Course
Docker is one of the, if not the most essential, tools that every developer
needs to know. You need to know what it is, why it is necessary and how you
can use everything it offers. It has been the most used developer platform tool
for the past three years, according to the StackOverflow survey and knowing how
to use it is required for most developer job listings. In this course, author
Dan Clarke will teach you everything you need to know to get started and master
the usage of Docker, from how to install it to how you can publish your very own
images and use it in your developer workflow.
