Beginning with the Learning Docker module, get yourself familiarized with the fundamentals of Docker. This module would be a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the various features of Docker from Docker software installation to knowing Docker in detail. The aim is to make you fluent with Docker basics.

You'll then dive a little deeper into Docker. The second module, Networking Docker, will show you how to create, deploy, and manage a virtual network for connecting containers spanning single or multiple hosts.

In the third module, Monitoring Docker, you will get to grips with monitoring your Docker apps and containers.

The purpose of our fourth module, Securing Docker, is to provide techniques and enhance your skills to secure Docker containers easily and efficiently.

The final module, Mastering Docker, will help you deploy Docker in production. You will also learn three interesting GUI applications: Shipyard, Panamax, and Tutum.
