Overview
In the modern landscape of data science and software development, understanding Docker is no longer optional, it is essential. This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the fundamental concepts of Docker, containerization, and their practical applications in managing reproducible and scalable environments.
The workshop combines theoretical foundations with hands-on practice, ensuring attendees gain both the knowledge and skills to effectively build, run, and manage Docker containers. Participants will learn how to streamline workflows, improve portability, and simplify deployment of applications.
For those eager to adopt container-based solutions in their research, projects, or professional workflows, this workshop offers the perfect starting point.

* Programmers who want to extend their skills into modern DevOps and cloud-native practices to make themselves more valuable
* Anyone who wants to learn from industry experts who not only teach but also apply Docker in real-world projects
* Professionals or researchers who want to add value to their work or organization by using Docker to simplify deployment, ensure reproducibility, and scale applications efficiently
