Course Description

These days just building an app is not enough, developers are expected to know so much more. This includes not only how to develop an app but also deploy it. New developers are expected to know how to manage the full life cycle of their web applications. This is why Docker is becoming more and more important in the world of app development. Docker is an open platform that allows developers to not only build but also ship their apps by using a container. A major benefit of this is automation, also known as DevOps. This philosophy seeks to break down the traditional barriers that exist between Development and Ops teams. For this Docker provides some great tools to help improve the application development process.
