Course was amazing. learned all basic to medium level of docker function. Concepts and questions are perfect for understanding.

By Chet Gleave on 1/6/2026

the text on screen was just what the author said and felt incomplete or poorly written a lot of the time. parts of it felt out of order and the prerequisites were poorly described so i spent a lot of time reverse engineering the windows equivalent of certain things

By Thangamuthu on 1/1/2026

This course give high level understanding of Docker, this is really helpful to understand the basic of Docker who is coming without knowing about docker

By Anuj Sharma on 9/18/2025

I do like that you have given demos for all the things you are teaching but I think you might want to explain concepts more like docker registry vs docker hub or say what is motivation for docker to be there in first place. The course felt like crash course but did not touch concepts like how should we deploy if full stack application is there, that is missing.

By Abhishek Sharma on 8/7/2025

will come back and watch once i have overview of linux or ubuntu commands for better understandings otherwise the course content was informative.

By James Paton on 7/26/2025

Good detail and coverage given the short duration. I would have preferred to have more explanation of how Docker works at a conceptual level rather than the detail. Overall, a good course, thanks.

By John James on 5/19/2025

Right? Right? Right? If I knew already, why would I be taking the course? Right? Incessant use of "Right?" throughout the course. Terribly fatiguing. The slides are not grammatically correct, and even the examples and instruction commands contain typos. If an instructor can't pay attention enough to detail during the preparation, why would anyone bother to take them seriously as an instructor? I'm sure the instructor knows how to use docker. He clearly does not know how to teach.

By Troy Orovwuje on 2/4/2025

Even at 2x Video speed(!) Varun was able to deliver an extremely clear, concise and comprehensive overview of all things Docker without seemingly omitting the more complex concepts that underpin this powerful application. His extremely detailed coverage of the Docker architecture and Docker storage topologies were particularly illuminating. I sincerely recommend this course for absolute beginners as someone who has gone through many introductory/intermediate Docker courses but ending up learning a whole lot more from this course about how Docker actually works!

By Vighneswaran C on 7/11/2024

Simple, sharp and clear explanations. This course will be really useful for Beginners who want to start learning Docker.

By Anas P H on 6/11/2024

It was just what I needed to kickstart my journey into containerization. The course laid out everything in a straightforward manner, making it easy to grasp even the most complex concepts. With plenty of hands-on exercises, I quickly got the hang of Docker commands, creating images, and deploying applications. The instructor kept things engaging, and the supplementary resources were super helpful for reinforcing what I learned. I feel confident now to dive deeper into Docker and explore more advanced topics. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get started with Docker!
