Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! 👋

I'm Md Salman, and I’m excited to kick off my journey of learning Docker and DevOps. This is my first blog post on Hashnode, and I’m thrilled to share what I learn with the community as I go. By learning in public, I hope to not only track my own progress but also inspire and help others who are on the same path.

In this post, I'll explain why I’m diving into Docker and DevOps, what I’ve learned so far, and how I plan to document my journey!

Why I’m Learning Docker & DevOps

In today’s tech landscape, DevOps is an essential skill for developers, especially those interested in backend development like myself. DevOps practices, along with Docker, help streamline app deployment, improve scalability, and make development environments much easier to manage.

For me, this is an opportunity to:

Gain hands-on experience with tools that simplify deployments.
Create more efficient and scalable apps.
Take my backend development skills to the next level!

What I Learned Today

Since this is just the start, I spent today learning about the basics of containers and the core components of Docker. Here’s a breakdown of what I covered:

1️⃣ Why Containers?

Containers are game-changers. They allow apps to run in isolated environments, which means that every project gets its own mini system to run on, free from conflicts. This makes setting up open-source projects or working on multiple projects a breeze!

2️⃣ History of Docker

Docker has been a key player in the containerization movement, making it easy to build, ship, and run applications across different systems. It has revolutionized the way we think about deployment and scaling apps.

3️⃣ Core Components of Docker:

CLI (Command Line Interface): The tool that allows us to interact with Docker from the terminal.
Engine: The brain behind Docker, responsible for running and managing containers.
Registry (Docker Hub): A place to store and share container images, allowing teams to collaborate and deploy apps faster.

How This Will Impact My Work

By learning Docker and DevOps, I’ll be able to:

Speed up development environments, allowing me to set up and deploy projects faster.
Ensure system compatibility by eliminating conflicts between different software versions or operating systems.
Create apps that are scalable and reliable, ready to be deployed in real-world production environments.

What’s Next?

I’m just getting started, and there’s so much more to explore! In the coming days, I’ll be diving deeper into:

Docker commands and how to manage containers.
DevOps practices for CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment).
Real-world challenges and how to solve them with Docker.

I’ll be posting daily updates on my progress, so feel free to follow along and engage with me!
