Docker makes it possible to manage applications without creating custom infrastructures. Free, open source, and battle-tested, Docker has quickly become must-know technology for developers and administrators.

“It’s difficult to find a comprehensize explanation of Docker. This gave me the confidence to apply Docker to my projects. Some of the code is outdated already, which is a let down but still is a good deal better than the other resources I found.”
