00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,950
Hi, I'm Jay McGavren, and

3
00:00:05,950 --> 00:00:09,900
I'm here to present a course written
by our guest author, Jared Smith.

4
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:14,350
Welcome to introduction to Docker.

5
00:00:14,350 --> 00:00:18,380
We put this course together for you so we
can take a deep dive into what Docker is,

6
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:22,410
why it matters, and how to use it for
you own software projects.

7
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:26,320
Have you ever taken another developer's app
and tried to run it on your machine, and

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,970
have it fail terribly with weird errors?

9
00:00:28,970 --> 00:00:33,812
All too often you'll be told, it works on
my machine so it should work on yours.

10
00:00:33,812 --> 00:00:37,590
If you've ever had this happen,
then Docker is the tool for you.

11
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:39,920
Docker bundles your app together
with all the libraries and

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,660
services it depends on into
a package called a container,

13
00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:47,630
which can then be delivered as
a single unit wherever it needs to go.

14
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:49,590
It's kind of like a shipping container.

15
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,110
Because shipping containers
are all the same shape,

16
00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:56,890
they can all be handled the same way
regardless of what they contain, likewise,

17
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,430
no matter what your apps'
architecture looks like.

18
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:03,260
Funneling it into a Docker container
allows your coworkers or customers to

19
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:06,520
deploy it anywhere without worrying
about what its components look like.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,150
Rather than worrying about
how software should be built

21
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:14,120
every time it changes hands between
developers or operation staff,

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,020
Docker standardizes how an app is built
through a simple configuration file.

23
00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:23,070
Docker allows apps to be quickly and
easily run on Windows, Mac, or

24
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:24,488
Linux hosts.

25
00:01:24,488 --> 00:01:29,290
The growing DevOps movement integrates
the jobs of developers with the operation

26
00:01:29,290 --> 00:01:32,700
staff, who have to run their
applications day to day.

27
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:36,265
Docker is one of
the essential DevOps tools.

28
00:01:36,265 --> 00:01:40,010
DevOps is a very broad topic, and
we won't discuss it much here.

29
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:43,870
But one of its key tenets is that
we should prefer working systems

30
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,640
over comprehensive documentation.

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Docker enables this by
standardizing how systems run.

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,490
And making it possible
to deploy complex apps

33
00:01:53,490 --> 00:01:56,330
without relying on
extensive documentation.

34
00:01:56,330 --> 00:01:59,680
Companies like Facebook,
Netflix, Google, and

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,270
GitHub, all use Docker on a daily basis.

36
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:06,680
Before we start on the course,
let's make sure we're on the same page.

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,900
We're assuming you've got Docker
installed on your computer.

38
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,140
If not, check the teacher's notes for
links to help you get started.

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,334
This course assumes you've gone
through all the prerequisites

40
00:02:18,334 --> 00:02:19,623
listed on the course page.

41
00:02:19,623 --> 00:02:23,430
You need to already be familiar with
running Shell commands from your terminal.

42
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:26,222
If you're not comfortable with that,
do yourself a favor and

43
00:02:26,222 --> 00:02:28,810
review the prerequisites
before starting this course.

44
00:02:30,573 --> 00:02:33,734
We've also included links to helpful
resources in the teacher's notes

45
00:02:33,734 --> 00:02:35,150
throughout the course.

46
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:36,010
If at any point,

47
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:39,540
you encounter something you don't
understand, check the teacher's notes.

48
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:41,115
The solution is probably there.

49
00:02:43,184 --> 00:02:47,030
We tried to adjust the pace of this
material to accommodate everyone.

50
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:50,450
But depending on what you know,
it's probably going to be too slow for

51
00:02:50,450 --> 00:02:53,300
you in some places and too fast in others.

52
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:57,170
You can adjust the video playback
speed faster or slower as needed for

53
00:02:57,170 --> 00:02:58,010
the current section.

54
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:03,159
Don't worry about memorizing every detail
about every command you see in this

55
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,017
course, that will be summarized
in the teacher's notes.

56
00:03:06,017 --> 00:03:09,422
The important part is that you remember
the general purpose of each command and

57
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:10,050
how it works.

58
00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:12,360
Okay, ready?

59
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,770
We'll be running a docker
container in the next video.
