Course Description

If you're a Java developer, Docker is a true game changer for you!
Developing Java applications in large enterprises is no easy task. Every day you are asked to work with many different technologies. In the morning, you might need to save data to a MySQL database. In the afternoon, you might be working with RabbitMQ. Tomorrow you might be asked to work with Mongo or Redis.
Think about what you need to do when working with all these different technologies.
If you install all these on your laptop, it becomes cluttered and slow. Sure, you could use VMs to run these - if you really want to slow down your laptop. Virtual Machines are awesome, but VMs can also be huge resource hogs.
If you're on a dev team, you can set up dedicated development servers. But then you don't have a clean development environment. And your development work becomes dependent on access to the development servers.
Docker is an exciting technology you can leverage for enterprise development.
The popularity of Docker has been explosive. Much of the industry focus has been on DevOps. But more so on the Operations part.
Did you know Google creates roughly 285 MILLION Docker containers per day?
Docker is clearly a popular technology for running cloud scale applications like GMail.
But as a Java developer, what does Docker mean to you?
Are you working with MySQL? There's a ready made Docker image for you.
Postgres? Mongo DB? Redis? Cassandra? RabbitMQ? ActiveMQ?
Yep, there's Docker images you can download and use today.
You can use Docker for a lot more than just your local development.
Are you developing microservices? If you are not already deploying your microservices in Docker containers, chances are you soon will be.
Introduction to Docker
This course starts off assuming you have no knowledge about Docker.
You will learn why Docker is not like a Virtual Machine.
Right away, you will learn how to run a Docker container with a Docker Image pulled down from Docker hub.
As the course progresses, you will learn how to create your own Docker images and publish those images to Docker hub.
Java DevOps with Docker
Through the use of the Fabric8 Maven plugin, you will learn how to automate many Docker tasks, such as creating images for microservices.
Docker Compose is a powerful tool to run multiple Docker containers. You will learn how to run how to run an application consisting of a Spring Boot web application, RabbitMQ, a page view microservice, and a MySQL database. Through Docker Compose, with a single command, you will be able to start or stop this application on any Docker machine!
Using Docker Swarm Mode
You'll learn how Docker Swarm Mode does container orchestration. In this course, you will provision your own Docker Swarm Cluster in the cloud. You will deploy a containerized Java application into a Docker Swarm Cluster. You'll see what a powerful feature Docker Swarm's routing mesh is, and how you can dynamically scale your application.
Expert Interviews
This course includes interviews with leading industry experts!
  • James Labocki - Product Owner, Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure
  • More on the way!
Slack Group
Exclusive to this course is a Slack group you can join to interact with the instructor, teachers assistants, and other students learning Docker from around the world. Say hi. Get help with a problem, or help someone else. When you enroll in this course you can join a community of others learning Docker!
Spring Boot Cookbook!
Course includes a Spring Boot Cookbook giving you example Spring Boot projects you can use against popular open source technologies including:
  • Mongo DB
  • MySQL
  • Postgres
  • Maria DB
  • DB2 Express
  • Neo4J
  • Redis
  • Cassandra
  • ActiveMQ
  • RabbitMQ

Who this course is for:
  • The ideal student for this course is a Java developer who wants to learn how to use Docker

Hi. I'm John.
I've been in the IT industry for over 20 years. Today, I specialize mainly in Java, the most successful and widely known programming language in use today. I also specialize with the Spring Framework, which the most popular open source application framework for building enterprise class applications on the Java platform. Just some of the organizations I've worked with include Visa, Kohls, Federal Home Loan Bank, and Belk Department Stores.
Through the courses I'm providing, I hope to leverage my years of experience to accelerate your learning of the Spring Framework. I'm not going to lie to you. The Spring Framework is a big framework. The environment for enterprise Java is even bigger. If you're new to Java, you have a lot to learn. I hope through the content on this web site I can accelerate your education of the Java and Spring landscape.

This course is interesting and the examples are well chosen.

By Mark Addison on 10/13/2020

The course was well structured and the pace was realistic.
I had a few issues with dependencies which it seems arise from using Java 8, but also needed to ensure the image of mysql being utilised was 5.7 (a slight heads up for anyone who might subsequently undertake the course)

Actually one of the best online courses I've taken. Great teacher, great attitude and relevant cases.

Some of this course is quite out of date for example the docker --link part has been deprecated now, It really needs an update but otherwise a great course.
