00:00:07,320  -->  00:00:10,110
Hey! This video is going to tell you a little bit about
2

2

00:00:10,140  -->  00:00:12,709
each section in this course, so you get a good idea of what
3

3

00:00:12,710  -->  00:00:13,710
we're going to cover.
4

4

00:00:14,010  -->  00:00:16,889
First, after you get the pre-requirements, like making sure
5

5

00:00:16,890  -->  00:00:19,049
you have a compatible operating system, making sure you
6

6

00:00:19,050  -->  00:00:21,843
download the course repo, stuff like that, we'll get into
7

7

00:00:21,960  -->  00:00:24,510
the installation details of Docker itself.
8

8

00:00:24,910  -->  00:00:27,469
Docker Desktop works on Mac and Windows 10,
9

9

00:00:27,930  -->  00:00:29,699
and that's really the best thing to do.
10

10

00:00:29,730  -->  00:00:32,039
But, there's lots of other details in there about whether
11

11

00:00:32,040  -->  00:00:34,590
you're using Linux, or an old Windows version, or you just
12

12

00:00:34,830  -->  00:00:36,240
want to use a server on the Internet.
13

13

00:00:36,750  -->  00:00:39,539
Then we jump into the Docker basics around
14

14

00:00:39,810  -->  00:00:41,991
how do you run containers? What is a container?
15

15

00:00:42,090  -->  00:00:43,710
What's in it? What's not in it?
16

16

00:00:44,130  -->  00:00:45,329
Running some examples.
17

17

00:00:45,390  -->  00:00:47,669
Then we learn how to build the images, which are the
18

18

00:00:47,670  -->  00:00:50,129
building blocks of containers, and you go through some
19

19

00:00:50,130  -->  00:00:51,130
examples of that.
20

20

00:00:51,600  -->  00:00:54,659
Then I go into details and examples around networking for
21

21

00:00:54,660  -->  00:00:56,399
Docker and how that works.
22

22

00:00:56,460  -->  00:00:58,529
Then maybe some of the storage stuff that you're going to
23

23

00:00:58,530  -->  00:01:00,240
deal with called Volumes.
24

24

00:01:00,570  -->  00:01:02,969
Then, we get into Docker Compose, which is a tool that
25

25

00:01:02,970  -->  00:01:06,239
comes with Docker, but it really is designed for local
26

26

00:01:06,240  -->  00:01:07,620
Dev and Test, and it's great.
27

27

00:01:07,680  -->  00:01:09,930
I use it every day when I'm working on projects.
28

28

00:01:10,290  -->  00:01:12,887
Then, after you understand all of the basics of those
29

29

00:01:12,900  -->  00:01:15,629
tools, we start talking about orchestration, which is
30

30

00:01:15,720  -->  00:01:18,959
allowing you to run containers on multiple servers that act
31

31

00:01:19,050  -->  00:01:20,430
sort of like a single server.
32

32

00:01:21,210  -->  00:01:23,969
We first start out with Swarm because it comes with Docker
33

33

00:01:24,240  -->  00:01:27,059
out-of-the-box. It's very easy to understand, and it works
34

34

00:01:27,060  -->  00:01:28,500
really great in a lot of scenarios.
35

35

00:01:28,830  -->  00:01:31,800
You'll learn about YAML files and how to configure
36

36

00:01:31,830  -->  00:01:34,329
multi-container solutions, and distributed systems,
37

37

00:01:34,950  -->  00:01:36,299
and micro services and all that.
38

38

00:01:36,810  -->  00:01:39,456
Eventually, you'll want to jump into Kubernetes, which
39

39

00:01:39,840  -->  00:01:40,840
comes after Swarm.
40

40

00:01:41,190  -->  00:01:44,189
I teach Swarm before Kubernetes because I think it's a good
41

41

00:01:44,190  -->  00:01:46,591
stepping stone because Kubernetes is so much more
42

42

00:01:46,830  -->  00:01:48,724
complicated and does so much more than Swarm.
43

43

00:01:49,380  -->  00:01:51,749
But, Swarm is easy to understand, so it's a great first
44

44

00:01:51,750  -->  00:01:55,080
step. I think all of us really need to learn at least
45

45

00:01:55,110  -->  00:01:57,952
two orchestrators since there's now, I don't know, four or
46

46

00:01:57,990  -->  00:02:00,269
five, six, at least common ones out there.
47

47

00:02:00,570  -->  00:02:03,689
Obviously, Kubernetes gets a lot of the market share and
48

48

00:02:03,690  -->  00:02:07,170
mindshare, but it's not the only solution, and it sometimes
49

49

00:02:07,200  -->  00:02:08,879
is more complicated than you need.
50

50

00:02:09,120  -->  00:02:11,427
So, it's good to have multiple tools in your toolset.
51

51

00:02:12,120  -->  00:02:13,860
That's why I teach both in this course.
52

52

00:02:14,820  -->  00:02:18,060
Then I finish up the course with a bunch of various things
53

53

00:02:18,120  -->  00:02:20,431
related to all these topics. Things like student's common
54

54

00:02:21,360  -->  00:02:24,330
questions and answers, maybe some live stuff
55

55

00:02:24,390  -->  00:02:27,240
from my YouTube show where students show up and ask
56

56

00:02:27,420  -->  00:02:29,729
questions about topics in the course that aren't heavily
57

57

00:02:29,730  -->  00:02:31,750
covered, so I give you some more details on that.
58

58

00:02:31,751  -->  00:02:34,829
Then, I actually review some student real-world
59

59

00:02:35,160  -->  00:02:38,149
Docker and Compose files and sort of break them down,
60

60

00:02:38,160  -->  00:02:40,319
talk about what's good about them, what's bad about them,
61

61

00:02:40,320  -->  00:02:42,509
so that you can learn from other people's work.
62

62

00:02:43,470  -->  00:02:46,229
Of course, throughout the whole course, there are tons and
63

63

00:02:46,230  -->  00:02:48,680
tons of references. Anywhere I can, I put links to
64

64

00:02:48,810  -->  00:02:51,680
documentation or really good blog posts that I,
65

65

00:02:51,810  -->  00:02:54,479
or someone else, has made on a topic so you can get further
66

66

00:02:54,480  -->  00:02:57,089
reading. Then, near the end of the course, I start to give
67

67

00:02:57,090  -->  00:02:59,883
you jumping off points in case you want to take one of my
68

68

00:03:00,030  -->  00:03:02,789
other courses that goes into more detail on that topic,
69

69

00:03:02,790  -->  00:03:04,750
like Swarm Mastery, or maybe Node.js for
70

70

00:03:05,820  -->  00:03:08,729
Docker, or my forthcoming Kubernetes course.
71

71

00:03:09,840  -->  00:03:12,780
Obviously, no single course is going to solve
72

72

00:03:12,840  -->  00:03:14,939
all of your problems and have all the answers.
73

73

00:03:15,240  -->  00:03:17,347
Along with the Slack Chat, and the YouTube,
74

74

00:03:18,270  -->  00:03:20,332
and the Podcast, and the newsletter, and the Q&A, and
75

75

00:03:21,030  -->  00:03:23,823
everything else that we do to try to help you learn these
76

76

00:03:24,000  -->  00:03:26,219
container tools, you're going to get your questions
77

77

00:03:26,220  -->  00:03:27,240
answered, one way or another.
78

78

00:03:28,140  -->  00:03:30,359
Of course, the nice thing about the Slack community is
79

79

00:03:30,360  -->  00:03:32,699
there's tons of people in there that are happy to help you,
80

80

00:03:32,880  -->  00:03:35,477
who have a wide range of backgrounds, and it's really
81

81

00:03:35,610  -->  00:03:37,889
great. I'm really excited that we've had a lot of people
82

82

00:03:37,890  -->  00:03:40,649
stick around over the years and build that community with
83

83

00:03:40,650  -->  00:03:41,826
us. Thanks for watching.
84

84

00:03:42,314  -->  00:03:43,759
I'll see the next video.
