# The Docker Handbook



![](docker-handbook-preview.png)



The concept of containerization itself is pretty old, but the emergence of the [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/#docker-engine) in 2013 has made it much easier to containerize your applications.



According to the [Stack Overflow Developer Survey - 2020](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#overview), [Docker](https://docker.com/) is the [\#1 most wanted platform](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted-platforms-wanted5), [\#2 most loved platform](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted-platforms-loved5), and also the [\#3 most popular platform](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-platforms).



As in-demand as it may be, getting started can seem a bit intimidating at first. So in this article, we'll be learning everything from basic to intermediate level of containerization. After going through the entire article, you should be able to:



* Containerize \(almost\) any application

* Upload custom Docker Images to online registries

* Work with multiple containers using Docker Compose



## Prerequisites



* Familiarity with the Linux Terminal

* Familiarity with JavaScript \(some later projects use JavaScript\)



## Project Code



Code for the example projects can be found in the following repository:



[https://github.com/fhsinchy/docker-handbook-projects/](https://github.com/fhsinchy/docker-handbook-projects/)



You can find the complete code in the [completed](https://github.com/fhsinchy/docker-handbook-projects/tree/completed) branch.
