Intro to Docker & Containers: Build, Ship & Run Your First Container

​Modern software isn’t just about writing code. It’s about building, packaging, and running applications reliably anywhere.

​That’s where Docker and containers come in.

​In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how developers use containers to simplify development, avoid “it works on my machine” issues, and deploy applications with confidence.

​We’ll walk you through the basics step by step and show you how to build, ship, and run your very first container.

​What you’ll learn:

• ​What containers are and why they matter

• ​How Docker works (explained simply)

• ​The difference between containers and virtual machines

• ​How to build your first Docker image

• ​How to run and manage a container

​Who should attend:

• ​Beginners in tech and software development

• ​Developers looking to level up their workflow

• ​Students and recent graduates

• ​Anyone curious about DevOps and modern deployment

​No prior experience with Docker needed.

​If you’re looking to build real-world, job-ready skills, this is a great place to start.
