Prerequisites

• Basic Command-Line Proficiency: Participants should be comfortable working with the command line interface, as many Docker operations are performed using command-line commands.

• Basic Understanding of Software Development: Familiarity with software development concepts, programming languages, and application structure will aid in understanding Docker's application in the development workflow.

• Basic Networking Concepts: A basic grasp of networking concepts such as IP addresses, ports, and protocols will be beneficial for configuring Docker's networking features.

• Basic Linux Skills: Since Docker is heavily based on Linux technologies, a basic understanding of Linux commands and file systems will help participants navigate Docker more effectively.

• Cloud Platform Familiarity: While not mandatory, some familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can enhance the understanding of Docker's cloud integration capabilities.

• Version Control (e.g., Git): Understanding version control systems like Git will be advantageous, especially when working with Docker in collaborative development environments.

• Basic DevOps Concepts: A basic awareness of DevOps principles, continuous integration, and continuous deployment will provide context for how Docker fits into the larger software development lifecycle.

• Operating System Knowledge: Familiarity with various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) will help participants understand Docker's cross-platform capabilities.
