Docker is a powerful tool that can help you share your software, use open source software and prevent vendor lock-in. It's a great tool to have in your toolbox and I'm sure you'll find many use cases for it.
Now that you know what Docker is, we are ready to build our first container! But that is another topic for tomorrow.
Until then, happy coding! 🚀
