The Docker Tutorial

Brought by: Laracasts

Overview

Docker makes development and deployment much easier, since it removes the need for installing and configuring software on your server or local machine. But there are a lot of options out there, and getting started can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Follow along in this series, as we learn how to use Docker from a beginner's point of view. By the conclusion, you'll have a complete and production-ready environment for your own projects.
