This book is a short hands-on introduction to Docker, that lacks of conceptual explanations. Considering that it is very quick to read, maybe you can use it as a supportive material, in order to get a few ideas on how to create an environment to run PHP. This book is all about setting up a PHP + MySQL environment manually, so don't expect to have solved here many of your problems as a developer.

A very short introduction with some hands-on examples. No in-depth explanation is available.

Small book about how to start working with docker, and how to make application with database and web server to work with docker, and how to create a custom image

I needed an introduction to Docker and its concepts and this book was enough to understand what was going on.

Chapters are very short and to the point, but if you don't like PHP maybe it's better to look somewhere else ;)

I needed a simple getting-started book to start understanding the basic concepts of Docker and I think this book succeeded. Having done all the examples in the book I now feel ready to start Dockerizing the first of my own applications.
