This was by far one of the best courses I did, courses in Coursera just talks about the theory and a bit of coding, what we need is actual coding familiarity through repetitions rather than a one time code testing. I usually get bored when trying to code, but for this i treated it as a objective i have to complete and it worked. Though this is just a beginner friendly way to understand Docker, its better than trying to learn via ChatGPT/Claude step by step learning guide.

Docker course gave me a solid foundation on how to move around different cmdlets in docker. It also gave me the idea that I should be using docker for a long time to set up labs on my computer :)
