The Node Mastery Course is very well put together. Well able to get started using Docker while building my current app using docker-compose! And more importantly I was able to avoid the "blog echo chamber" of getting started, and learn from a Docker Captain the correct method to migrate traditional apps into Docker containers.


TD'DR
Also recommended is Bret's other course, Docker Mastery, which took me from being completely new to Docker to solid level of understanding that I will be able to build on while I continue to use containers.


Just some context.
I am an Electrician by trade, but have been teaching myself programming for the last 5 years to open up more opportunities. And I must say that Bret is a fantastic instructor; he pacts all the useful information into the course videos and keeps you engaged with assignments that I was able to build on in my apps. There was also plenty of extra resources to help me gain a deeper understanding of course material; Plus Bret hosts live a Q and A about Docker every week. To me it is clear that Bret is both, very knowledgeable with Docker and has a strong desired to share that information to help others!


Thanks again for the courses Bret. I have taken both Node and Docker Mastery, and will be starting Swarm Mastery in due time! Look forward to more Q and A's on your YouTube channel! Great idea to include the FAQ/important questions into your courses.

Just finished watching and I feel like I’ve been doing it all wrong this whole time! Been following too many of those tutorials that just give the bare minimum. Thank you so much! Definitely considering that Docker for Node.js course now.

Thanks for putting so much promotion info into the description rather than the description of the video and for example link to the video (dockerfile best practices) you talk about.

On your udemy course you say don't use slim unless you need to and here you recommend slim over alpine ? should I go by date or have things changed ?

How about the option of remote code development? Can't you ssh into docker and use "Remote - SSH" extension from VS Code or "Remote Interpreter" from Webstorm? Does the workaround with node_modules folders have any extra benefits?

How about a course about k8s? Do you have any intention to develop one?

SIGINIT in all your slides should be SIGINT.
