About This Course
v19.03. Everything you need to build, run and compose Docker containers so you can start using Docker for your web apps.
Learn the Docker Fundamentals and Then Dockerize Your Own Web Apps
This course is meant for anyone looking to improve the way they build and distribute applications. You could be a web developer, sysadmin, operations manager, or someone who is part of an IT / testing / QA team.
Developers use Docker to set up and run applications without the headache of having to install everything manually
Operators use Docker to distribute applications across environments consistently and optimize server resources
QA teams use Docker to quickly build test environments without having to deal with "but it works for me!" problems
By the time you finish this course you'll know everything you need to start using Docker / Docker Compose on your own projects.
This course was flawless in explaining every segment in detail while keeping it easy to follow along and learn. -- Brian K.
It doesn't matter if you use Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, Flask, Django, Java, Golang or any other language / framework. At the end of the day, Docker is a toolset that helps you package up and distribute your applications in a portable and repeatable way. You'll be able to set up entire development environments in a single command and run those same applications exactly the same in production with total confidence that it will work because you're just moving around special packages that Docker creates for you under the hood.
The days of "well it works for me!" or having to point another developer to a 20 page document on how to set up your web application are long over. Docker fixes those problems and so much more.
No prior Docker knowledge is necessary to take this course. We'll go all the way from "What is Docker?" to exploring what types of problems Docker solves to completely mastering Docker's core features (we'll cover Docker Compose in great depth too). Through out the process we'll go over Dockerizing simple web apps, complex multi-service web apps and I'll show you exactly how to Dockerize your own web apps.
I'm a big fan of learning by doing so this course has just enough theory combined with dozens of guided labs and challenges. This way you'll learn both the "why" and the "how".
Instead of sifting through 100+ scattered blog posts, this course lays everything out on a silver platter. I've done years of research and testing so you don't have to. All you have to do is sit back, relax and follow along with the videos. You're only a few short hours away from mastering Docker and applying it to your own applications.
I have been through very few learning experiences that were this thorough. Nick not only teaches you how to use Docker, but also how to troubleshoot Docker problems and research solutions. -- Dennis E.
What makes me suitable for teaching a course on Docker?
Hi, I'm Nick.
I've been a self taught software developer for the last 20 years. I've been actively using Docker since 2014. I also help train teams and individuals on how to "Dockerize" their applications.
This course is loaded with best practices and tips I've learned from years of real world experience and now I want to share everything I've learned with you.
I've answered over 4,000 questions on Docker over the years through my previous Docker courses.
I'm also a Docker Captain. Docker Captain is a title that Docker awards to select members of the community. Docker Captains are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others.
Nick has always been quick to respond to my questions. I've never had a message fall through the cracks with Nick. He has become an invaluable mentor. -- Kyle. E
Bonus content:
Self contained notes that you can download and reference. It includes every command we run and all websites I visit on camera. No more hunting around videos to quickly find the content you want to review.
Over half a dozen code examples on how to Dockerize popular web frameworks.

Way out of date, needs to be updated. Commands don't work, sample files contain versions that cause commands to fail.

It was good but extremely boring at first. Please KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid).
I think you could have used bullet points to describe diffeerences and dos and don't. You also need to include test questions to see if a student has learn what has been taught. How about also allowing students to install the solution. This is supposed to be a beginners course. You learned by doing. I think you should break this course up into Windows only, Mac Only and Linux only sections this way sudents can select the OS they are using the most instead of having to put them thru the others unless they want to learn all those. I am glad your willing to explain everything. Now I have to go thru the install piece for the OS i want to install and use professionally. I apprecaite the time you taken to read this.

The course is good but far from perfect. The greate thing you do practice a lot of manual docker commands. You get the feeling of the technology.
So far I've been able to follow the lectures, exercises worked for me.
The teaching style could be improved a lot.
Although I really appreciate the humor, which you don't meet that much on Udemy, the slides with a single word are weird and not convenient.
There is no resourse with any of the learning material in a written form, if you forget the explanation - you dont have wher to look.
The HTML files where the links and commands are - slow and not convenient.
Explanations themselves are often not that clear. Like saying "You should not be hosting anything on docker host in production" but not saying why or what is the problem and not showing any slide/visual. Yes , i know this is explaned in the next lecture, but many times, there are these criptic "do this/don't do that" which is not properly explaned.
The explanations should be more full and clear. And more visuals should be included regarding what architectures are right or wrong. Also, the first 35% of the course were a lot of talking with too much detail (like versions etc) which, in my opinion, should be AFTER we learn the basics of the technology, and not before.

Among the three Udemy courses I have taken; this one is by far the best one. The teacher is charming especially with his sense of humor. (The teacher's echo joke caught me off guard.) The resources are up to date, plentiful, and really thought out. You can easily follow along when the teacher writes commands, even easier when you use the notes provided. The videos are edited, so fluff and dead air are trimmed out. Definitely a worthwhile course if you're learning Docker!

A very good introduction to Docker, specially for web app developers. Although, could be a little more up-to-date and with more docker compose related material.

Great attention to detail. A lot of good examples and tips a long the way. Great beginners tutorial on docker CLI. The murder comment was intended to be funny, but unnecessary. we can all be frustrated, but a better comment will do.
