Sustainable Dev Environments with Docker and Bash: Build a Stable and Maintainable Place to Code

Take control of your development environment using two ubiquitous and stable tools: Docker and Bash. You'll learn to create a dev environment for any tech stack and any app that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you don't understand Docker or find it confusing, this book will explain it in simple terms. In less than 150 pages, you'll become confident with both Docker and Bash such that you can set up the software and tools you need to run any app locally.

The book will take you through building a real dev environment while explaining the concepts upon which both Docker and Bash are built. You don't have to be a UNIX wizard or command-line jockey. But, instead of just recipes and code to copy and paste, you'll learn how Docker works, how to install software inside a Docker image, how to find other images you can use to run any service your app needs (like a database), and how to use Bash to tie it together into a great user experience.
