The title, introduction, and length certainly are misleading.
It’s incomplete even by it’s own promises, failing to touch many of the topics it lists in the beginning of chapters.
It’s most advanced feature is compose, which is by all means as basic as docker features get nowadays. Yet it fails to detail other essential features such as networking.
Usually, I would just ignore posts that aren’t thorough or are inconsistent, but by naming it the “definitive guide” it sets itself as a beginner’s trap, possibly pushing away, or worse - misleading, beginners who could benefit the most from clear guides in todays SEO-centric Ad-filled AI-generated world.
Steer clear from this one folks. Docker’s official docs are still the way to go.
- kaperskyguru 3y agoHi I'm Solomon Eseme, the author of the piece. I don't think it's entirely through that the article is misleading. The article intention it to take readers through a journey from beginners to advanced level, using storytelling to explain technical concepts like containerization and Docker. If you get to chapter 4, Look the brief where you see the image, You will see all the listed topics that will be covered in the Advanced Part of the article and It will be too long to include them there. I even indicated with "Let me know in the comments section. I will share it with you." Then I moved to discussing "Docker Compose" the next topic will continue in the advanced guide. Docker documentation is great. But it's not every beginner or even advanced developers that understands Documentation at first introduction to a technology. Thanks for your feedback anyways. I'm still learning and will improve as I write more.
