What you will learn:

Chapter 1: Complete Docker Overview

In this chapter, you will learn the complete overview of Docker and containerization to help you understand the concept of Docker and how to develop containerized applications.

What you will learn in this chapter:

• What is Containerization?
• What is Docker?
• Features of Docker
• What can I use Docker for?
• Why you should learn Docker

This chapter will teach you some Docker terminologies such as Docker Image, Docker Containers, and Docker Registry.

Chapter 2: Docker Deep Dive

In this chapter, I will take you deeper into the Docker architecture.

I will explore different Docker concepts and terminologies, such as Docker images and containers, and lastly, you learn the architecture of Docker enough to build your first containerized application.

This chapter is split into 3 sections to discuss the important components of Docker and how they work together in Docker, Docker Architecture, Docker images, and Docker Containers.

What you will learn in this chapter:

• Docker vs Other Containerization Implementations
• Docker: The Architecture
• What is Docker Image?
• What is a Docker Container?
• What is Docker Registry?

Chapter 3: Building with Docker

In this chapter, I will work you through building dockerized applications with Docker.

You will learn how to install Docker in different operating systems, and most importantly, you will build a containerized JavaScript application by putting into practice all we have learned in the previous chapters.

Lastly, you will use Docker Compose to define and run multi-container Docker applications.

Teilo:

"I, for one, need tutorials like this, and I am grateful for it. Devs who have been using Docker for a while have forgotten how intimidating it is for those who have our entire dev tooling built around VMs (orchestrated with vagrant, in my case). You need just enough hand-holding to get you up and running efficiently; this tutorial does that. It gets you over the hump a lot faster than trying to follow years-old and incomplete advice from Googling."
