Description
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
