Free ebookDocker for Beginners: Containers Explained with Simple Projects

Course Description

Docker for Beginners: Containers Explained with Simple Projects is a practical ebook course in Information Technology that helps you understand containerization from the ground up and apply it immediately to real development and deployment scenarios. If you want a clear path to learning Docker without getting lost in jargon, this course guides you through the Docker workflow so you can build, run, and ship applications with confidence.

You will learn how Docker images and containers work together, how registries fit into everyday delivery pipelines, and how to create reproducible environments using Dockerfiles. Along the way, you will practice core Docker commands for running, inspecting, and managing containers, building a solid foundation for local development, testing, and lightweight production use. The focus stays hands on, showing how each concept supports real work such as faster onboarding, consistent builds, and easier troubleshooting across machines and teams.

As you progress, you will explore persistent storage with volumes and bind mounts, and connect services reliably using Docker networks. The projects move from containerizing a static website to packaging a simple API with configuration, then stepping into multi-container orchestration where an API and database run together. You will also learn how Docker Compose defines multi-service setups that are easy to start, stop, and share, making this IT Tools course especially useful for developers, QA, DevOps beginners, and anyone adopting modern infrastructure practices.

The course also strengthens your problem solving skills with practical troubleshooting for containers, builds, and connectivity, plus a core Docker glossary and reference checklist to support day to day work. Start the course now and build your Docker skills through simple projects that translate directly to real world container workflows.
