The material were very helpful and right to the point. A few more examples, though, could add a lot to the learning experience.

Too old. Needs updating. Also, video quality is poor.

The course contains good info but it is pretty much the same presentation he did for DockerCon 2020 which you can see for free on YouTube.

Very good info but recap and intro on every sub section was repetitive
By Philippe Conway on 10/17/2020
I originally thought the Docker extension was nothing more than a fancy Dockerfile, and docker-compose linter. After going through this course, I learned just how powerful the Docker extension truly is. Brian breaks things down into easy to understand sections, with labs that help reinforce what you have just learned. My Docker workflow will be improving exponentially thanks to this course.

Brian does an excellent job of breaking down the component parts of Docker into easy to learn concepts. I look forward to learning more from him in the future.

The introduction is really great and the demo that motivates us to see what we will be able to do at the end of the course is really smart. Not perfect due to few graphics too small, but a really good start.
