Docker Bootcamp: The fastest way to learn Docker

by Russ McKendrick

Fast, intensive, and effective Docker learning This book targets developers, IT professionals and DevOps engineers who like to gain intensive, hands-on knowledge and skills with Docker without spending hours and hours in learning. If you have been struggling to find the time to gain proficiency and confidence with Docker containers and everyday Docker tasks, you have come to the right place! Docker allows you to create a robust and resilient environment to generate portable, composable, scalable, and stable application containers. The book starts by installing the core Docker Engine on MacOS, Windows 10 and Linux desktops. We will then define multi-container applications and understand the advantages of using containers locally. Once this is done, we will deploy containers on a single Docker host which is publicly accessible. Furthermore, we will learn how to deploy and configure a Docker Swarm cluster and explore networking and storage third-party plugins to extend the core Docker functionality. Towards the end, the book will demonstrate how to monitor and troubleshoot day-to-day problems in addition to various real world examples of container deployments. This book is all about fast and intensive learning. That means we don't waste time in helping readers get started. The content is about filling in with highly-effective examples to build new things, show solving problems in newer and unseen ways, and solve real-world examples.

Another very useful book by Packt publishing. Docker bootcamp is a quick introduction to Docker explaining some of those basic things that everyone is afraid to ask.
The book has great contents for an intro to Docker. It's just a shame it got published without checking for basic grammar/typos.
