This course was well-structured, clear, and practical from start to finish. The instructor explained concepts in a way that made even the more complex topics easy to follow. The hands-on exercises and real-world examples helped me not just understand Docker but actually apply it confidently in my projects. I’ve used what I learned here directly in production environments and it’s made a noticeable difference in how I work. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get a solid, working understanding of Docker whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills.

The course started a bit boring. But just after 2 chapters, I started enjoying this. To be honest this is a non-nonsense course. To the point, fast paced. This is exactly what I wanted. I could complete the entire course at one go. I don't understand why Ahmed ( the author) is giving it freely. Thank you Ahmed for the good work.

This course has covered almost all the fundamental topics that anyone needs to start working on Docker. The concepts were short, well explained and also covers hands-on.

The course is good for beginners to understand the basics of docker and its commands. The topics can be added a little more detail and could some new topics too.

there is a lot of time wasted in just saying hello and chao but it's his style... It's a good course that shows you the basics and give you the tools you'll need to work with docker.

I was struggling to learn about docker for a long time, and finally I could learn all the basics. I didn't even think that this course would actually teach all the basics as this is free, but it actually did. Thanks a lot!

If you are looking for a beginner to intermediate level Docker (and something about Linux), this course is just the perfect place to start. Thanks Ahmad. Ciao :)

So far, it's pretty good. The only negative so far is I couldn't find the link to download the "Learn Linux Quickly" book, as mentioned by the instructor.

Great content and the way to explain are remarkable. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
