I read your book Docker Deep Dive on Amazon Kindle. I congratulate you for writing such a good book. It is so simple and straight that even a novice can understand it. I have let coding around 10 years back and now working as a program manager in a company but I found no difficulty in reading this book.

Now I have started your book - The Kubernetes on Kindle

Good content book. But do include examples are less

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 31 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Content wise book is good and talks a good bit of how docker works. All example works pretty well in book
Cons:
Need to include the URLs and the problems which comes with os like windows 10 home where the default url is not localhost
Need more examples of different technologies and techniques to build docker images

Excellent approach

Some readers may not like the informal way of expressing the technical things. But I personally loved it. I was browsing different sources of materials to understand docker technology but always landed up doing some hands-on of container start stop attach detach type tutorials. This book actually goes with the flow of our curious mind. Learnt a lot. I recommend the investment. Planning to buy the Kubernets title also from the same author.

Great book for learning Docker.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 3 January 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought Docker Deep Dive by Nigel Poulton yesterday. I started reading it and have covered around hundred pages with a few hands-on exercises from the book. I got a mark to review it on page 62 from where the part 2 technical stuff starts in the book. I felt that, before reviewing lets tweak a little more. I have found that its really worth a 5 star review. Along with the book, feel free to go through the Nigel Poluton's Pluralsight Course - "Docker Deep Dive". I felt this book as a great reference for that too. When I was about to buy the book, I am not certain to go for the DCA exam but now ready to give it a try atleast once to check my understanding about Docker. Hats off Nigel Poulton. Please reproduce this book and the Kubernetes book too in paperback.

You'll understand how docker is so simple like any other thing you understand. You'll start utilising docker for being efficient as things will start making sense. For beginner it is good. Then you can anyways go advance with subjects explained briefly in book.

No index and uninformative contents pages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 February 2019

Verified Purchase

This is probably a good book. Flicking through it, the various examples and diagrams give the impression that this is probably useful and informative, and the use of colour definitely enhances the experience as far as it goes. However, flicking through it is just about the only way to find anything specific. The lack of an index is surprising, but even that limitation might have been mitigated by more detailed an informative contents pages.

I rarely regret buying a book, but on this occasion I wish I had spent the money on something with an index. This is a really serious omission so I can't bring myself to give it more than 3 stars.

A bit of a slog for a Developer. You need a Developer and Sys Ops hat to master Docker

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this book after starting to read Mannings Docker in Practice. And after getting about 200 pages through that, I gave up, because I felt I needed more incite into the fundamentals. This book does a better job of handling that, but for me (a developer), I found it a bit of a struggle still. I think you need to be able to wear many hats to master Docker. The whole Linux/Ubuntu flavours and commands associated to that, networking, understanding network layers, subnets,NICs, etc. (e.g. Layer 2. huh?! OSI model, Internet layers? I recall this vaguely from reading TCP/IP Jump Start about 8 years ago) (It does showcase some Microsoft Server 2016 - but seemed to miss a section on how security was handled on that.. I presume LDAP). Also there was a proliferation of acronyms that was a bit overwhelming. They were often described out of sequence later in the book, but I'd like the have seen either: 1) And appendix of jargon (or even a blog post you can link to as a stopgap) 2) Far more links to urls that give more details. O'Reilly and Manning tend to do a good job of this with numbered subscripted footnotes at the bottom of the page. 3) A comprehensive index (The author was good enough to provide me with a PDF so I have an electronic version I can search on. I provided him photos of the book when I received it from Amazon, as i was concerned about this after seeing other reviews). I would also have greatly appreciated recommended reading (blogs, books, wiki page links etc) as a precursor to this book (either on back cover or in preface somewhere), There was also a proliferation of typos throughout the book. They were pretty obvious, but slightly annoying. Finally, what I found the most awkward was sometimes you didn't know when a command ended, and the output from a command began (random GUIDs for example). Some sort of colour coding or alternate font to distinguish between the two would have helped greatly. Also don't like comments like "outside the scope of this book". Prefer links to more details. I don't like loose ends! ;-)

A Perfect Book for Anyone New Docker, or as a Quick Reference for Any Pro

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 June 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a terrific book for anyone new to Docker, or for any pro who wants a quick refresher or a handy reference to flip through in a pinch.

It's written in clear and simple language that anyone comfortable with basic terminal commands should be able to manage. It covers all of Docker's essential features (images, containers, volumes, Dockerfile, etc.) in a methodical and progressive way, each chapter building on the last. It offers enough of the technical internals of Docker itself (Docker Engine, client, API, etc.) to give you an understanding of how it all works, without being overwhelming or inducing a coma from boredom.

Each chapter offers clear and approachable example code and steps that an average developer should have no trouble completing, with relevant explanations of Linux/Windows/Mac specifics when relevant or required.

While there are a few minor typos here and there, and this book is by no means a comprehensive Docker reference manual (there are plenty of details left unaddressed), it covers at least 80% of what an average developer or ops users will need to get a solid foundation in Docker, and will give you a great start on your journey toward Docker mastery.

A great Docker overview to get you going.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 August 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a nice easy read and introduction to Docker. I also have Nigels other book on kubernetes. I wanted to get a bit deeper into understanding of Docker. The book makes Docker straightforward, and for the rather trivial examples in the book it is.
As with most technology, there are a few problems start when you move onto more advanced examples. Setting up Rabbit MQ server is nice and easy, but connecting into it from other containers on the same Docker-compose network, is not so obvious. Simple explanation of building multiple images, across different directories, into a Docker-compose, would have been helpful in this book.

It is really a useful and good introduction and overview to get you going with docker.

very pleased with this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 June 2019

Verified Purchase

this is a great book to buy if you're thinking of sitting the Docker certification, or if you're simply trying to get a solid handle on Docker. I personally prefer to have a written book when studying for something and this has not disappointed, the quality of the writing is great and so is the quality of the actual book. It's a nice change to have colour diagrams in a technical cert book! I am suggest you look at Nigel's Pluralsight courses as they offer some great hands on help that is hard to convey in a book. Linux Academy also have a good DCA course which can be used as a supplement to this.
