Containers have revolutionized the IT world and it can be hard to know where to start. In this course, Docker Captain Nigel Poulton guides you through the basics all the way to proficiency.

You'll learn why we have containers and how they work. You’ll run through the basics like images, the Docker engine, and containers. With the basics out of the way, you'll then containerize an application and learn how to run it. Throughout the course, Nigel will demystify all the jargon and buzzwords. When you're done, you'll be ready to use Docker in the real world.

The Beginners Guide to Docker

Hopefully, you're feeling confident with Docker and ready to take your next steps. Fortunately, taking those next steps has never been easier.

## Practice makes perfect

There isn't a substitute for hands-on practice. Fortunately,  it's easier than ever to get Docker and start developing your hands-on skills. I use Docker Desktop every day and regularly use [Play with Docker](https://labs.play-with-docker.com/) when I need to test something quickly with multiple nodes. 

## Get involved with the community

There's a vibrant Docker community full of helpful people. Get involved with Docker groups and chats on the internet, and look up your local Docker or cloud-native meetup (search Google for "Docker meetup near me"). I am regularly present at meetups, and they're a great place to network with people and learn.
