Docker for WebDevelopers

Modern web apps have many moving parts. Setting up development environments can be tedious. Truly mirroring staging and production environments can be a nightmare (especially when including app settings, security settings, back-end services etc.)

In this session we dive deep into the Hows and Whys of using Docker for client-side development. You'll leave this session with a sound understanding of the fundamentals of docker as well as the tools that can be used to effortlessly create a full development environment.


About Michael Carducci

Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.

He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer. He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.

As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.

He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
