Excellent course and very well taught
Really Awesome Course Content
Good beginner level course
Excellently explained.
Covers all the things you should know to get started with Docker. Good demos and explanations. Projects are easy to follow and give you a good starting point. Some of the lectures have some redundancy - build the same express app multiple times from scratch.
The content is good, but I reached a point where I was being asked for answers to areas that the course had not yet covered. The course implementation is broken which is a shame.
