Description:
The Docker Blacksburg Meetup group presents NRV Container Day on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at Virginia Tech's Torgersen Hall room 3100.

This one-day event is designed to help you get up and running with Docker. Come in knowing nothing and leave knowing what it takes to run containerized applications. If you bring an app, we can even help containerize it!

Docker is the world’s leading software container platform. Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” problems when collaborating on code with co-workers. Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in isolated containers to get better compute density. Enterprises use Docker to build agile software delivery pipelines to ship new features faster, more securely and with confidence for both Linux, Windows Server, and Linux-on-mainframe apps.

The day is going to be split into two portions. Learn in the morning and apply it in the afternoon. The morning sessions will be run by Docker Captains, Michael Irwin and Nirmal Mehta. The lightning talks will be given by other Docker experts in the New River Valley.

Admission is free. Reservations are requested. To register online, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nrv-containerday-dev-edition-tickets-35103118372.

This ContainerDay is being run by the Docker Blacksburg Meetup group. While this first event is targeting developers, we hope to have events for ContainerDayOps and ContainerDayStudents in the future. Stay tuned!

Why focus on developers? Honestly, we had to start somewhere. In most places where we've seen Docker adopted, it's started with developers. So, it makes sense to start with them!

NOTE: This event is NOT organized and run by Docker, Inc. This event is run independently by a local interest group.
