"Docker in a Day" ...not likely. Reminds me of this blog post https://norvig.com/21-days.html

Used to run all my dev stuff (Apache, MySQL, Elastic, etc) in Ubuntu with VMWare. Then downgraded to a laptop with 8GB RAM so decided to look into Docker. I found this repos very helpful https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker

I also use some bash scripts to setup local equivalents of the AWS (services I use) in Docker containers https://github.com/mozey/aws-local

So far this setup works really well for me. Tip, using the :cached configuration with mounted volumes makes a huge difference to CPU usage on the host https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/

One thing I dislike about Udemy is they always discount their courses. Sometimes those discounts go from $200+ to $20 just to lure people to buy them.

They also had that nasty episode with piracy a few years back and as far as I understand they are still clinging to a YouTube model where it's up to people to report that content is pirated -- but you need a Udemy account to do that, something not all content creators feel like creating especially. Here is Rob Conery's blog post about this episode:

I don't know if Udemy fixed this or just made it easier for creators (and others) to flag pirated content but I haven't heard about this problem for a while.

I was keenly interested in learning docker when I came across this course on Udemy. It was a good learning experience and as well as the concepts are very easily explained. I found it absolutely beneficial course.

WTF? Ads on hacker news now?

Its not an ad, and I found it pretty good with the section on Docker networks the best of all the course content. Did anyone notice the last example which is on dockerising a real world app, that is awesome.
