Modules
Getting Docker Desktop up and running is the first crucial step for
developers diving into containerization, offering a seamless and
user-friendly interface for managing Docker containers. Docker Desktop
simplifies the process of building, sharing, and running applications in
containers, ensuring consistency across different environments.
Learn how to run your first container, gaining hands-on experience with
Docker's powerful features. We'll cover making real-time changes to both
backend and frontend code within the containerized environment, ensuring
seamless integration and testing.
Learn how to build your first Docker image, a key step in containerizing your
application. We'll guide you through the process of creating an image
repository and building and pushing your image to Docker Hub. This enables
you to share your image easily within your team.
Now that you have set up Docker Desktop, developed with containers, and built
and pushed your first image, you are ready to take the next step and dive
deep into what a container is and how it works.
