Understanding Docker for Windows: Containerize Like a Pro

Docker has revolutionized software delivery—enabling “build once, run anywhere” consistency from dev to production. But on Windows, Docker has unique quirks: WSL2 backend, volume mounts, and Hyper-V confusion. This course cuts through the noise and teaches you to use Docker on Windows **the right way**, with hands-on labs and real-world workflows.

What You’ll Build

  • A multi-container web app with Python backend, React frontend, and PostgreSQL
  • A CI/CD pipeline that builds and tests containers locally
  • A custom base image optimized for your Python or .NET apps

Key Topics Covered

  • Docker Desktop for Windows—setup, WSL2 integration, performance tuning
  • Images vs containers—how layers work, reducing image size
  • Docker Compose—orchestrate multi-service apps with one command
  • Volumes and bind mounts—persist data and sync code in dev
  • Networking—container-to-container communication, port mapping
  • Security best practices—non-root containers, image scanning

Why Docker Matters in Nigeria

  • Job requirement—90%+ of DevOps, backend, and cloud roles demand Docker
  • Faster onboarding—new devs run the entire stack in minutes
  • Deployment confidence—no more “works on my machine” bugs

Who Should Take This?

  • Windows-based developers tired of environment issues
  • Full-stack devs preparing for cloud-native roles
  • Students needing Docker for capstone projects
  • Freelancers who want to deliver portable apps

Stop Wrestling with Environment Setup

This course gives you the **exact commands, configs, and workflows** used by professional teams—so you spend time building features, not fixing paths.
