Course Overview
No Linux Experience? No Problem!
This course has been designed for anyone who wants to learn Docker regardless of their experience level, but if youâre not familiar with Linux (which Docker uses), never fear; weâve included an extensive – but not overwhelming – overview.
Youâll start by taking a look at Dockerâs infrastructure and â youâll be glad to know â how to install it on OSX and Windows. Once thatâs done, youâll learn everything you need to know images and containers, creating an image and running a web server. Then itâs into the nitty gritty of Docker Hub, tag, push and pull images, customising an image, and Docker Commands. Youâll finish off by creating  a fully functional WordPress website and running it, using Docker as the catalyst to make it happen.
By the end of this course youâll know exactly what Docker can do and how do it. Plus, youâll be posed to use it in scenarios where it will most likely save you plenty of work. Not bad!
About Docker
Basically, Docker allows you to âbuild, ship and run any app, anywhereâ. It automates the deployment of apps inside software containers using various features of the Linux operating system (although it can be used on Mac and Windows). Think of it like a shipyard with a big cargo ship â it packages the various pieces of cargo needed for delivery (i.e software), then gets it onto the ship and off to its destination efficiently, safely and in one neat package.
 
Target Audience
Anyone that wants to learn Docker and isnât familiar with Linux.
Requirements
Some experience with virtual machines may be helpful but is not required. You do not need any Docker or Linux experience.
