Getting Started with Docker

In about ninety minutes it covers installing Docker, building a containerised application, and sharing images — hands-on and clear, from an instructor who's well known in this space. It's a genuine first step, so it's aimed below you if you already use Docker, and it deliberately stops before orchestration (Kubernetes), which is its own course. It's on a Pluralsight plan (Standard about $29/month or $299/year, Premium about $45/month or $499/year, 10-day trial). Containers are now core infrastructure, and these basics stay relevant (as of 2026).

Getting Started with Docker teaches the container technology that underpins modern software delivery. In about an hour and a half, Docker Captain Nigel Poulton covers installation, building containerized applications, sharing images via Docker Hub, and running multi-container setups with Docker Compose and Swarm, so you finish able to package and run a real app in containers.
