"Docker from Scratch: A Beginner’s Journey into Containerisation" is your essential guide to mastering Docker, tailored for beginners. This book breaks down the complexities of containerisation, making it accessible to readers without prior experience in Docker or DevOps. Starting with the fundamentals, you’ll learn how Docker works, how to create and manage containers, and how to streamline application deployment and scaling. With step-by-step tutorials, real-world examples, and troubleshooting tips, this guide empowers you to harness Docker’s full potential, transforming your approach to development and deployment. Perfect for developers, system admins, and tech enthusiasts, this book opens the door to modern, efficient workflows in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Docker is an open-source platform that has completely changed the way we develop, deploy, and use apps. The application development lifecycle is a dynamic process, and developers are always looking for ways to make it more efficient. Docker enables developers to package their work and all of its dependencies into standardised units called containers by utilising containerization technology.

By separating apps from the underlying infrastructure, these lightweight containers provide reliable performance and functionality in a variety of environments. Because of this, Docker is a game-changer for developers because it frees them up to concentrate on creating amazing software rather than handling difficult infrastructure.

Regardless of your level of experience, Docker provides an extensive feature set and a strong toolset that can greatly enhance your development process. In this tutorial, we will provide you with a thorough understanding of Docker, going over its main features, advantages, and ways to use it to develop, launch, and distribute apps more quickly and easily.

Prerequisites to Learn Docker:
Before we start learning Docker, having a solid foundation in a few key areas will help you to significantly enhance your learning experience. Here are a few essential prerequisites that will get you started with Docker:

• Basic understanding of operating systems (Linux preferred).
• Comfort with the command line interface.
• Knowledge of networking concepts (IP addresses, ports, protocols).
• Experience with programming languages (Python, Java, Go).
• Familiarity with Version Control Systems (Git).

Target Audience:
Anybody working in the software development lifecycle can benefit from this comprehensive tutorial on Docker. This includes students, developers looking to optimise their workflow, DevOps engineers automating deployments, system administrators overseeing applications on servers, solutions architects creating scalable solutions, and SREs maintaining the health of applications. Furthermore, knowing Docker will be quite helpful for anyone interested in cloud-native programming.
