Very easy and simple to follow

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Verified Purchase

I got the book yesterday, 3/23/24 and today I'm on chapter 8 out of 16. This book is that easy and simple to work through. I understand Docker more than I would have if I watched a YouTube video. Maybe this is just my learning preference, but again, Nigel makes it super simple to understand Docker concepts, from how images work, containers, and the similarities and differences between Docker containers and traditional VM's. The walkthroughs are clear, and each shell command has a clear output of what you should expect. All in all, this is a great resource to become a hero in Docker. If you really want to learn Docker and get a full overview of Docker, from 0 to 100, this book is for you.

Docker was a frustrating technology to use - until this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

Verified Purchase

After reading this book I feel like I ACTUALLY understand how Docker works and how to use it effectively. Previously, I knew "enough" to do my job as a software engineer, but never really knew everything happening behind the scenes.

This meant that my experience using Docker was very surface level, and anytime something went wrong when using it, it was difficult to debug. However after reading this book I feel much more confident using it and feel I actually understand how to use it.

Read this book!

Great resource for learning Docker

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

There has been a lot of talk about containers in the industry with Docker at the top of everyone's list. This book does a great job of breaking down the terminology, use cases, and elements that make up a Docker installation.

Broken into sections for each element, these sections are then broken down into a short summary, a deep dive and then relevant commands. This allows for a better understanding and a quick reference guide if you are just looking for a refresher. By the end of the book you'll be able to install Docker, pull images, deploy containers, and configure swarm mode and actually understand what is going on behind the scenes.

As a longtime VMware admin that is exploring containers, I'm a big fan of this book. Understanding what is expected of me as we look to adopt containers is very beneficial. As the book reads like an instructural blog post, you gain the knowledge you're looking for that can be applied immediately.

I would like more of an architectural overview on different deployment methods, but that would be for more of a design-focused book. So far this is the best resource I've come across in helping me understand what Docker is and how to use it.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024

I'm a nerdish type so I like books that go deep into the subject, however, many people have a problem with books being too theoretical leaving your head stuffed with information without practice. Let me assure you this is not the case. This book is theoretical enough to satisfy my nerdish desires while at the same time being practical so you can apply everything you learn there in practice. The author conveniently shares code repos and ready-made images with you so you can follow all examples in the book

Just the one you need to learn DOCKER in 2018

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2018

First thing first, if you are wondering what Docker is ? Where to get started with ? Heard about Docker Certification, wish to write the exam in future ? Heard about Docker in various conferences or meetups or youtube videos and wish to learn and learn it WELL,

Just get this BOOK. No need to waste your time reading anyone review(including this one :) )

Just like any other book/course from Nigel, this is again a master piece. If you never read any of Nigel’s book or gone through any of his course, let me tell you few facts, which is common across any of his course or book:

“You will feel like he is sitting next to you explaining you like a friend(in the most funniest was possible)”
“You will not realise that you have just concurred a complex concept without any effort”
“Once you complete a chapter when you will feel like you have seriously learned something”
“You will gain motivation with every page you read”
“YOU WOULD LEARN HOW TO TEACH OTHERS”

No matter you are new to Docker or intermediate or experienced, this will help to strengthen your concepts, I personally liked these following sections:

1. Images section, ID, hashes, etc.
2. Engine section,
3. Swarm
4. Networking - It was always confusing to me, but just after a 20 pages of read, it was so clear.

As much as a fact is that one would need to read through multiple books/documents in different capacities to master a concept or skillsets that the books are intended to, but to defy that fact is this one single book which is so crystal clear in its concept and logics that you right away understand every aspect of Docker and I can bet, you would not need to look into any other book for any reference at any point of time! Such is the MAGIC of this BOOK!

I would highly encourage to have his online class of Docker Deep Drive in Plurasight as well to complement this book.

The book also helps you guide what next step to take, how to go from there, …

I can promise you that once you complete reading this book and practice along, you can pick anything around docker by reading other books/documentens/etc.

I have been following Nigel since 2008, ever since I started my career as a Storage Performance Engineer, he is a great inspiration and motivation for me, and whatever small I have achieved so far in my life is due to this great gentlemen.

Awesomely written

Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2022

I just landed a DevOps role and wanted to be up and running on containers. Some of the video courses I had taken on some other platforms were not satisfactory. But this book checked all the boxes after reading the reviews here pre-purchase. So with a leaf of faith, I bought Nigels's Docker and Kubernetes books.

I really enjoyed every chapter from images, container, docker-compose, and most importantly Docker Swarm and Stack.

Please Nigel Poulton, this book is too good not to have index pages at the end.

This book was everything I needed. And five-star is the least it least rating it deserves. Thanks for all the thoughts

Next stop: Nigel Poulton "The Kubernetes book"

It's a very useful book for who is starting to learning Docker and the world of containers, almost all subjects about Docker and Docker swarm are showed in this book. Now I'm just buying the one about kubernetes.

Before finding Nigels book, I had purchased courses on udemy, crawled YT, etc. And was getting frustrated with the lack of examples / projects I could try. I read this book cover to cover, and learned more in the 1st 20 mins that I had with the hours of time wasted on Udemy etc.

Because of this book, I feel confident with the knowledge I have gained, and I'm sure the K8 books will be just as good.
