(Connection details will be emailed shortly before the event)
The Docker container ecosystem is often used in industry but rarely taught in education.
For teams who produce and maintain software applications, it solves numerous challenges that they might encounter during the development lifecycle. It’s also common to encounter Docker tools and concepts on cloud-based development platforms like GitHub, Heroku, AWS or Azure. Join this bootcamp to kickstart your understanding of Docker!
The session aims to reveal a range of concepts and tools. By attending you’ll learn:
- What Docker and containerisation is
- What common problems it solves
- An introduction to core tools and workflows
- Further topics to practice and research
Hosted by Engineering Manager at Hnry Stuart Whitehead, who has over 12 years of experience working for digital agencies in the UK, Germany and New Zealand, where he’s delivered work for clients like Red Bull, Samsung, ACC and the Tertiary Education Commission.
If you’re looking for a Developer or DevOps role, you SHOULD be attending this event! Your awareness of programming languages, application frameworks and cloud platforms will give a reference point for the concepts Stuart introduces.
No specific knowledge is required. Join with a curious and open mind; anyone with a tech-adjacent background will benefit from attending.
