    Taking the Introduction to Docker course has been a game-changer for me. As someone stepping into containerization, this course provided the perfect balance of theory and hands-on practice. It guided me through essential Docker concepts like creating Dockerfiles, understanding image layers, using WORKDIR and USER, managing environment variables with ARG and ENV, and best practices for security and package updates.
