Focusing on containerization, this second edition enhances the original by revising all chapters and updating commands, code, and examples to align with the latest Docker developments. It features a new chapter dedicated to production deployment, clarifying key concepts such as Dockerfile and Docker volumes. Additionally, readers will engage in a practical project, building a Telegram bot using Python, providing hands-on experience alongside theoretical knowledge.
