Hey there!
Web development is messy.
Varying tech stacks, multiple device types, screen sizes, operating systems, browsers and browser versions, mean that building and debugging can be a nightmare.
How a website works on your machine, doesn't actually mean that's how it works (or doesn't work) on other people's.
...but web development can be a dream!
If you've never heard of it, Docker is an amazing tool to make your life easier.
It can:
- install and run dependencies in minutes. This includes web servers, databases, language runtimes, WordPress, and more.
- manage isolated applications. Your PC is not polluted; you can run multiple editions of any software on the same device at the same time, e.g. MySQL 5 and 8.
- use your favourite development tools, editors, and workflows. Web development with Docker is no more difficult than developing code on your local system.
- distribute your web application to others on your team. It won’t matter if they use another operating system or some dependencies are not available on their platform.
- deploy your application to live production servers. It’s guaranteed to work and offers scaling opportunities.
Dive in and see what so many developers are raving about:
Docker is shunned by web developers; It's considered too technical, unnecessary, or something for DevOps experts. Terminology can be impenetrable. Tutorials never explain how to use Docker during development. This book is a concise and practical guide that will get you using Docker in minutes.
Happy Learning!
