Just the one you need to learn DOCKER in 2018

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

First thing first, if you are wondering what Docker is ? Where to get started with ? Heard about Docker Certification, wish to write the exam in future ? Heard about Docker in various conferences or meetups or youtube videos and wish to learn and learn it WELL,

Just get this BOOK. No need to waste your time reading anyone review(including this one :) )

Just like any other book/course from Nigel, this is again a master piece. If you never read any of Nigel’s book or gone through any of his course, let me tell you few facts, which is common across any of his course or book:

“You will feel like he is sitting next to you explaining you like a friend(in the most funniest was possible)”
“You will not realise that you have just concurred a complex concept without any effort”
“Once you complete a chapter when you will feel like you have seriously learned something”
“You will gain motivation with every page you read”
“YOU WOULD LEARN HOW TO TEACH OTHERS”

No matter you are new to Docker or intermediate or experienced, this will help to strengthen your concepts, I personally liked these following sections:

1. Images section, ID, hashes, etc.
2. Engine section,
3. Swarm
4. Networking - It was always confusing to me, but just after a 20 pages of read, it was so clear.

As much as a fact is that one would need to read through multiple books/documents in different capacities to master a concept or skillsets that the books are intended to, but to defy that fact is this one single book which is so crystal clear in its concept and logics that you right away understand every aspect of Docker and I can bet, you would not need to look into any other book for any reference at any point of time! Such is the MAGIC of this BOOK!

I would highly encourage to have his online class of Docker Deep Drive in Plurasight as well to complement this book.

The book also helps you guide what next step to take, how to go from there, …

I can promise you that once you complete reading this book and practice along, you can pick anything around docker by reading other books/documentens/etc.

I have been following Nigel since 2008, ever since I started my career as a Storage Performance Engineer, he is a great inspiration and motivation for me, and whatever small I have achieved so far in my life is due to this great gentlemen.

Someone needs to proof-read this book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is what happens when you write and publish a book without an editor or someone to proof-read it. There are obvious mistakes all over the place. Paragraphs that don't make sense because the sentences are out of order. Spelling and punctuation errors. The font is also weirdly small and I have to hold the book right up to my face. That being said, the information is difficult to understand with many concepts introduced randomly and not explained, acronyms introduced and not explained, etc. I really had hoped for something better

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I got about the right amount of information (and perhaps some) I was expecting to get from the book, so I'm happy. This is a perfect book for people who have no prior exposure to Docker as well as for those who have some but have gaps to fill. I fall in the latter. Having the read the book, I now feel well-equipped to talk to my colleagues who have been working with Docker longer than I have and ask them why we did things one way versus the other, or whether or not we're using certain features. This is certainly not a complete reference (you have the Docker website for that). But it covers a lot of ground. It gets you to a place where you know all the tools there are at your disposal and how to use them. Then you can dig some more (e.g. all other available command-line options) when you actually start using them.

Nigel, whom I've had the pleasure of corresponding with, has a relaxed writing style, which I actually liked (I found him on PluralSight first). It's like some friendly, competent colleague giving you a TOI in the morning. And yes, it has to be in the morning because I usually get post-lunch dips. So, I would probably just waste your time if we did it in the afternoon.

But I digress. Great book on Docker.

The best book to learn docker in general, still needs a little more ramp up for certification prep

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

I read this book whole heartedly - all 400 pages of goodness in it. It is worth the price for its content. So for that I think this book deserves at least 4 stars. The book, not only was an interesting read for me, but I learned tonnes of infrastructure concepts as well besides docker. The author is a funny guy too - so it made the overall experience very pleasing. In fact for the certification exam, I only relied on this material and a few reading of docker manuals (NOT ALL).

The reason why am deducting 1 star is the book is not complete enough to cover all aspects of the certification exam. I was able to pass it, but because it occurred to me that to scrub through the Docker manuals for some stuff. IMO, it missed these key points at the cost of repetition of certain content:

- container cpu/mem/resource allocations
- more coverage on Dockerfile syntax
- more coverage on additional docker constructs: commit / save / load - basically small nifty features that docker provides OOTB for image management
- Additional real world scenarios - such as updating docker secret for swarm, etc

Plus there was a typo in Ch 17 - Camaro instead of Camero! Not a biggie :) Overall, I do recommend this book - its worth the price tag.

No index and uninformative contents pages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is probably a good book. Flicking through it, the various examples and diagrams give the impression that this is probably useful and informative, and the use of colour definitely enhances the experience as far as it goes. However, flicking through it is just about the only way to find anything specific. The lack of an index is surprising, but even that limitation might have been mitigated by more detailed an informative contents pages.

I rarely regret buying a book, but on this occasion I wish I had spent the money on something with an index. This is a really serious omission so I can't bring myself to give it more than 3 stars.

A bit of a slog for a Developer. You need a Developer and Sys Ops hat to master Docker

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

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! ;-)

A Perfect Book for Anyone New Docker, or as a Quick Reference for Any Pro

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

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.

A great Docker overview to get you going.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

very pleased with this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

this is a great book to buy if you're thinking of sitting the Docker certification, or if you're simply trying to get a solid handle on Docker. I personally prefer to have a written book when studying for something and this has not disappointed, the quality of the writing is great and so is the quality of the actual book. It's a nice change to have colour diagrams in a technical cert book! I am suggest you look at Nigel's Pluralsight courses as they offer some great hands on help that is hard to convey in a book. Linux Academy also have a good DCA course which can be used as a supplement to this.
