Absolute Beginner's Guide to Docker

Are you tired of hearing people gush about how great Docker, Kubernetes and containers are and not knowing exactly what they’re talking about? Have you heard about how amazing Docker is, but don’t know where to get started? This session may be for you.

In this session we take an absolute beginner’s guide approach to Docker. We go over a little about what Docker is, the difference between images and containers, a few quick ways to use Docker in a dev environment, and briefly talk about creating your own images.

The goal of this session isn’t to be a comprehensive explanation of Docker. The goal is to give attendees tools to help them push past through the “getting started” hump.
