Great for a (2-year in industry) developer learning new concepts regarding containers. Personally, whilst it’s “zero to Docker”, some developmental/industry knowledge is required. Very well explained content and examples, in a fun way to learn. I’m now reading The Kubernetes Book (also paperback).

I bought this book after starting to read Mannings Docker in Practice. And after getting about 200 pages through that, I gave up, because I felt I needed more incite into the fundamentals. This book does a better job of handling that, but for me (a developer), I found it a bit of a struggle still. I think you need to be able to wear many hats to master Docker. The whole Linux/Ubuntu flavours and commands associated to that, networking, understanding network layers, subnets,NICs, etc. (e.g. Layer 2. huh?! OSI model, Internet layers? I recall this vaguely from reading TCP/IP Jump Start about 8 years ago) (It does showcase some Microsoft Server 2016 – but seemed to miss a section on how security was handled on that.. I presume LDAP). Also there was a proliferation of acronyms that was a bit overwhelming. They were often described out of sequence later in the book, but I’d like the have seen either: 1) And appendix of jargon (or even a blog post you can link to as a stopgap) 2) Far more links to urls that give more details. O’Reilly and Manning tend to do a good job of this with numbered subscripted footnotes at the bottom of the page. 3) A comprehensive index (The author was good enough to provide me with a PDF so I have an electronic version I can search on. I provided him photos of the book when I received it from Amazon, as i was concerned about this after seeing other reviews). I would also have greatly appreciated recommended reading (blogs, books, wiki page links etc) as a precursor to this book (either on back cover or in preface somewhere), There was also a proliferation of typos throughout the book. They were pretty obvious, but slightly annoying. Finally, what I found the most awkward was sometimes you didn’t know when a command ended, and the output from a command began (random GUIDs for example). Some sort of colour coding or alternate font to distinguish between the two would have helped greatly. Also don’t like comments like “outside the scope of this book”. Prefer links to more details. I don’t like loose ends! 😉

This book gave me a greater understanding of how Docker works. Although I understand more about the why of Docker, I do not feel it gave me enough practical applications of what it can be used for. Examples were geared more towards running services but I would have liked to have seen more of how it can help with implementing local containers for things like running applications locally without having to manage local software versions, as well as more examples of what you can use it for in various scenarios. A personal feeling towards the writing style is that is was too informal at times. Some phrasings and the use of emoticons breaks the spell that I am reading a legitimate knowledge source.
Overall though I would recommend this to others to get more exposure to Docker as it did have some easy to follow scenarios and ideas of how you can play along with them.

This is a nice easy read and introduction to Docker. I also have Nigels other book on kubernetes. I wanted to get a bit deeper into understanding of Docker. The book makes Docker straightforward, and for the rather trivial examples in the book it is.
As with most technology, there are a few problems start when you move onto more advanced examples. Setting up Rabbit MQ server is nice and easy, but connecting into it from other containers on the same Docker-compose network, is not so obvious. Simple explanation of building multiple images, across different directories, into a Docker-compose, would have been helpful in this book.
It is really a useful and good introduction and overview to get you going with docker.

This is a terrific book for anyone new to Docker, or for any pro who wants a quick refresher or a handy reference to flip through in a pinch.
It’s written in clear and simple language that anyone comfortable with basic terminal commands should be able to manage. It covers all of Docker’s essential features (images, containers, volumes, Dockerfile, etc.) in a methodical and progressive way, each chapter building on the last. It offers enough of the technical internals of Docker itself (Docker Engine, client, API, etc.) to give you an understanding of how it all works, without being overwhelming or inducing a coma from boredom.
Each chapter offers clear and approachable example code and steps that an average developer should have no trouble completing, with relevant explanations of Linux/Windows/Mac specifics when relevant or required.
While there are a few minor typos here and there, and this book is by no means a comprehensive Docker reference manual (there are plenty of details left unaddressed), it covers at least 80% of what an average developer or ops users will need to get a solid foundation in Docker, and will give you a great start on your journey toward Docker mastery.

All chapters does not follow the same style. some chapters are more theoritical some are step by step examples.
I suggest you to complete an online course first and then read this boo. because there is no enough step by step examples in this book. theoritical information is much wider than online trainings but it is good to read after completing a basic online step by step course.
I cant compare with any other docker book because havent read any of them.
by Ricardo
In my opinion this is a great book. It explains the Docker concepts very smoothly with the respective Docker commands and with examples that can be executed immediately in the command line.
The examples are fully working which is great. With the explanations on this book it got very easy to learn Docker. So Five Stars with it 🙂
