The short introduction on that tutorial is much better than that actual docker site and 10-15 min interactive tutorial on what docker actually is and what it can be used for. A note to other developers, it's a good idea to not use some language without first defining the word... Especially if it's an overloaded term.

Huh, the "Images and layers" section is 404'ing.

Edit: ah, here it is - https://github.com/odewahn/docker-jumpstart/blob/master/publ...

Edit: filed a PR

A topic specific forum, stackoverflow or google-groups is a better place for Q/A troubleshooting.

We try to keep this thread relevant to the article.

Agreed, it's a nice intro. I still think the hardest part is understanding how docker fits into the bigger picture. I think I've more or less figured it out on my own, but I struggled with e.g. do I want my source built in the image or mounted as a volume?

Docker doesn't actually use LXC anymore.

For some reason I found docker very unintuitive, even writing a simple build script was confusing. I agree, this book would have done a much better job of introduction than the docker site.

I never really got to play extensively with Docker mainly because I have found the setup of OS X not quite friendly. While I understand the value of Docker, basically booting up a VMware/VirtualBox image was faster for my own use.

I'll have to give boot2docker a try to see if it is changing things. Having a good guide will definitely help.
