Docker for Dummies, Tech Workshops For Dummies Series (4/6)

posted by Elvin Zukic on June 7, 2024, 7:57 a.m.

Hey there! 

Do you notice “docker” in the coding zeitgeist but have no idea what it means?

Then feel free to drop by our tech workshop where you can get a bit of backstory on why docker was created and how useful it can be in the development process

You will learn things like:
  • What are the ideal use cases for docker
  • the basic docker commands
  • What a Dockerfile is
  • What is docker compose

You will also get to create your very own docker container running a custom python program that you will code! [feel free to bring your own python program that you want to see how to dockerize if you want]

Come with questions and I’ll be happy to answer them. 

You will need a linux operating system open in front of you [such as Debian or Ubuntu or WSL]. 

You need admin access to the computer!! [so NOT a CSIL computer, preferably your own laptop]

Docker/Docker Compose for Dummies, Part of a Tech Workshops For Dummies Series (4/6) 
Date: Wednesday, June 12th Time: 4:30PM - 5:30PM 
Location: ASB 9700 [CSIL]

posted by Elvin Zukic on June 7, 2024, 7:55 a.m.

Hey there! 

Are you eager to start working on a coding project but your eyes glaze over when trying to understand git cheat sheets to do version control? Or you don’t even understand what version control is and why not just save everything to google drive?

Then feel free to drop by our workshop where we will:
  • Explain why version control [and git] is good
  • Go over the features and functionalities of git

You will:
  • Get to execute basic git command with a mentor’s help
  • Figure out the workflow of saving a change to a commit or dealing with PRs and merge conflicts.
  • We will also show step by step, some advanced topics and commands like rebasing [and how to do git revisionist history 🤫] should you choose to stick around for that bit.

Come with questions and I’ll be happy to answer them. 

Prerequisites:
  • You will need a linux operating system open in front of you [such as Debian or Ubuntu or WSL]. 
  • You will need an account on github.com
