So whatβs all this fuss about βDockerβ?
Saturday: 09:30 - 12:30
Workshop leader: Kim Thoenen
Docker is all around the technical media nowadays. But what is it all about and why are so many people excited about it - and what does it offer you, the Django developer?
Even if you already know a bit about Docker, youβre probably more familiar with it as a deployment tool, but in fact it offers some powerful advantages for the Python/Django developer too.
This is a hands-on workshop that also aims to clarify some key questions for the Django developer:
- Why is Docker such a big deal?
- What problems can Docker solve for me?
- How does it work?
- How can it enhance my development experience?
In the workshop weβll help install and configure Docker on your laptop (Linux/OS X/Windows), to have it working in a clear and manageable way.
Then weβll step through setting up a Django project with Docker.
If we have time, weβll go on to show how Docker can help you move your project from development to deployment with minimum friction.
