Book excerpt: Welcome to "Docker Decoded: Docker Programming Demystified- Step-by-Step Methods for Beginners". Given the rapid advancements in technology, it is now imperative for developers and IT specialists to comprehend containerization, a technology that is fundamentally altering the way applications are created, distributed, and used. Docker, a platform that offers a simple way to build, pack, and run applications inside of containers, is essential to this transformation. But why all the fuss about Docker and containers? Assume that you are creating a delicate work of art. You wouldn't want to give it away without a protective cover for fear of damage or tampering. Essentially, Docker provides your applications with a "protective casing" that keeps them consistent across many environments-from your personal laptop to a massive cloud infrastructure. But for many, the thought of using Docker can be intimidating. Concepts like "container," "image," "Dockerfile," and "Compose" may seem unfamiliar. Fear not, though! This e-book tries to demystify Docker programming for you by dissecting these ideas in an approachable, systematic way.
