Picks of the month - July 2016

Posted by Gjermund Bjaanes on July 31, 2016

Welcome to Picks of the month, where I share a few things I have found useful the last month.

It can be anything from blog posts and software tools to books and techniques.

Since this month has been all about work, and then later vacation, there are not that many picks.

 

#1 Docker Deep Dive

I have been interested in Docker for a while. The concept of containers have seemed very cool, but I haven’t really had the time to take the plunge.

Until now.

Docker Deep Dive is a Pluralsight by Nigel Poulton. It takes you from zero to “hero”.

The course is extremely well laid out, and the course author is very pedagogical. He explains things in a very understandable matter, and repeats them through the course, without getting boring.

If you want to learn what Docker can do, and how to operate it all, consider this course:

#2 Tech Videos gone SitCom

This is not a very serious pick, but a very fun one!

During a twitter conversion, we came up with the idea to add sitcom to tech talks, because the recordings often doesn’t pick up on how the audience responds to jokes.

I found the result very funny, but take a look for yourself:
