Docker for PHP Developers is the guide I wish I had when I started learning Docker. It's everything I've learned and refined using Docker on dozens of projects over the last three years combined into one course.

I've spent over twelve months building this guide, with the goal of presenting the best possible course that focuses on teaching developers how to use Docker.

Instead of piecing everything together yourself, you can start being productive with PHP and Docker in a few days.
