Docker Global Mentor Week is your opportunity to #learndocker. to learn how to build, ship, and run modern distributed applications with ease. thanks to the Docker platform.

Right now, Docker has developed out a series of self-paced online labs that will be available during the meetup. Docker’s meetup groups worldwide are hosting a series of complimentary events to help newcomers and intermediate users learn Docker.

We'll have hands-on labs for both beginners and intermediate users, labs targeting both developers and operations. There is something for everyone. Docker mentor will be on hand at this event to help you prepare. and work through the self-paced materials. Bring your laptop, have fun and learn Docker!
