Learn Docker

Understand Docker by actually using it: images, containers, volumes, networks, and why teams ship with it.

Great course that offers a nice ramp-up towards actually using Docker. It ends on a high note by contextualising the use of this tool in an actual deployment lifecycle. The format makes learning more approachable but I found this course to be too easy since it's mainly following commands. I would love to see a less hands-on practice Chapter to solidify everything that was learnt where you build a Docker image from a past project, especially Typescript due to the Golang focus

really easy to understand, seemingly misleading on how simple it is, but then again, docker is SIMPLE and this course made it obvious. This course will also implicitly teach you semantic versioning at the end, which is REALLY important if we all want the software space to be easy to work with instead of it being a dependency version hell :< GOOD COURSE!

I highly recommend Boot.dev. The platform is exceptionally well-structured, neatly organized, and covers a wide variety of topics efficiently. The courses are highly interactive, engaging, and the explanations are very clear. I also really appreciate the chat feature—it is a fantastic resource that adds a lot of value to the overall learning experience.
