Summary

Go from zero to production readiness with Docker in 22 bite-sized lessons! Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches is an accessible task-focused guide to Docker on Linux, Windows, or Mac systems. In it, you’ll learn practical Docker skills to help you tackle the challenges of modern IT, from cloud migration and microservices to handling legacy systems. There’s no excessive theory or niche-use cases—just a quick-and-easy guide to the essentials of Docker you’ll use every day.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology

The idea behind Docker is simple: package applica­tions in lightweight virtual containers that can be easily installed. The results of this simple idea are huge! Docker makes it possible to manage applications without creating custom infrastructures. Free, open source, and battle-tested, Docker has quickly become must-know technology for developers and administrators.

About the book

Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches introduces Docker concepts through a series of brief hands-on lessons. Follow­ing a learning path perfected by author Elton Stoneman, you’ll run containers by chapter 2 and package applications by chapter 3. Each lesson teaches a practical skill you can practice on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. By the end of the month you’ll know how to containerize and run any kind of application with Docker.

What's inside

Package applications to run in containers
Put containers into production
Build optimized Docker images
Run containerized apps at scale

About the reader

Microsoft MVP | Pluralsight Author | Architect @Docker

I'm a Pluralsight Author, Microsoft MVP and work at Docker as an architect. I've been architecting and delivering successful solutions with Microsoft technologies since 2000, most recently Big Data and API implementations in Azure, and distributed applications with Docker and Kubernetes.

Currently I'm interested the evolution of the Microsoft stack, exploring the great opportunities opening up with .NET Framework apps running in Windows containers, .NET Core apps running in Linux containers, and running Docker on Azure.

I'm a regular presenter and workshop host at conferences. I've been fortunate to speak at NDC, DockerCon, SDD, DevSum, Container Camp and WinOps. You'll often see me at user groups too - Docker London, London DevOps and WinOps are my locals.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to learn docker
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023
    Format: AudiobookVerified Purchase
    Very well written. The author really knows his stuff, from working with/for/on docker. There's no way it could cover all the advanced features of docker, as that would take volumes, but does insure you know the advanced topics that are most important.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Docker book. Still relevant in 2025.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2025
    Format: Audiobook
    I purchased this book in 2020 when this was in early access program. I then got a job that requried me to not think about Docker. Lately, I have been ramping up on some tech skills and decided to use Docker again and I am happy to tell you that this book is still pretty relevant in 2025. I am on Chapter 6 at the moment and all images are available on author's docker hub. I think he is working on the second edition of this book, which you can purchase through Manning Publication Early Access Program (MEAP) and get this book included, so that's the route I would recommend, but if you already have a copy of this book and don't want to buy a new book, it is still a good book to learn Docker.

    The author knows his content well and although the book is a little verbose (like most tech books), it is a good book and concepts are explained in clear and easy manner.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough, honest & fun overview of Docker's ecosystem
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    This is a wonderful primer to getting into Docker with samples and demos that won't keep you up all night, are well-put together and fun to run. All of the major components of using Docker as a developer of sysadmin or operations professional are covered, and intelligently organized from starting out to running complex rolling updates and clustering.

    All the code samples are available for Linux and Windows with fun labs at the end of every chapter. True to its intent, each chapter can be undertaken in a single sitting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for people learning Docker!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020
    Format: Paperback
    In this book, Elton Stoneman deftly walks the fine line between breadth and brevity. He keeps it very simple, but never assumes anything about the reader's prior knowledge, or skips any important steps.
