Docker Course for DevOps

Learn Docker For DevOps course is for those who are looking to level up their skills by deploying their own web application. You can now further your career by picking up years worth of general DevOps skills.

Docker works incredibly well even for the smallest applications. Hundreds of large-scale organizations use it every day.

Learning Docker and DevOps skills is currently quite popular in the tech world. It's comparable to how the development of smartphone apps was a few years ago.

New developers are expected by businesses to oversee the entire life cycle of their online applications. This refers to both creating and releasing your applications.

Course Overview:

This course goes beyond just a typical introduction to Docker. Skimming Docker's website will provide you with that information. Instead, it's Docker for DevOps. 

In addition to learning the fundamentals of Docker along the way, this course demonstrates what you can build with Docker and how to achieve it.

We'll work through creating and deploying a multi-service Ruby on Rails and Flask application together (more framework examples will be provided as bonus lectures too).

Don't worry, you won't need any prior knowledge of Flask or Ruby on Rails to understand this course. Instead of developing a web application, the focus is on its deployment.

A fantastic approach to remembering information and picking anything up quickly is to learn by doing.

"The course has a perfect balance between theory and practical material. At the end of the course, you have a working and secured web app with fully automated deployment along with an understanding of how it works. This is exactly what I wanted from the course."
