🎓 Course Headline: Master the Art of Containerization with Node.js!

Course Description:

Dive into the world of containerization and unlock the full potential of your Node.js applications with our comprehensive online course. Docker has revolutionized the way we build, deploy, and run applications by encapsulating them in containers that can run on any system without the "it works on my machine" hassle.

Why Docker? 🐘

• Isolation: Run your app in an isolated environment with all its dependencies.
• Consistency: Enjoy a consistent development, testing, and production environment.
• Efficiency: Save resources by not duplicating the virtualization of CPU and memory.
• Modularity: Easily run multiple versions or instances without conflicts.

What You'll Learn:

• 🏗️ Setting Up Your Environment: We'll get you started with Docker Desktop, ensuring your tools are ready for development.
• 🛠️ Building Your Node.js App: Create a simple yet functional web application using Node.js.
• 🎨 Dockerizing Your Application: Learn how to containerize your app with Docker, capturing its environment in a single image.
• 🚀 Running Containers: Instantiate your Docker image into a container for deployment and experience the magic of Docker.

Course Breakdown:

1. Introduction to Docker: Understand the fundamentals and the advantages of using containers for development.

2. Creating Your Node.js Web Application:

   • Setting up your Node.js project environment
   • Writing basic server logic with Express (or another framework of your choice)
   • Testing your application locally

3. Dockerizing Your Node.js App:

   • Installing Docker and Docker Desktop
   • Crafting your first Dockerfile to create a Docker image for your app
   • Optimizing your Docker build process with best practices

4. Running Containers from Your Docker Image:
