Your thought process is backwards. Instead of starting with a technology you want to learn, start with a problem that you have. Then do research on tech that can solve your problem and you will learn by solving the problem you have. Most technology companies are also terrible at explaining what they do so you need to be able to do a bit of reading to understand their value proposition. For example Docker, their website's homepage states. Future proof your Windows apps and drive continuous innovation Protect your legacy, invest in your future. Which is techobabble nonsense, and doesn't tell me a fucking thing about what Docker does. Docker isn't just for windows apps, so I don't know why they are alienating linux users. It makes no sense, and I would assume most people would move on unless they already knew what it was. This is sad, because I like and use Docker and want them to succeed. How I would describe Docker to the uninitiated. Docker is a file. In that file you can run a series of commands to install and compile all the software necessary to run your application. Once you execute the file, it outputs another file which you can send to someone else who will automatically know how to run it. That's all it is, there is no reason for confusion.
