As an 20 year veteran .NET developer, who had spent a lot of time building web applications hosted on virtual machines running IIS - first using WebForms and then MVC, and when Docker first came along, although I though it was cool, I largely ignored it for many years. Until one day I didn't ....

In this talk I will take the audience through a journey of discovery - learning about docker and containerisation, about micro-service architecture (the good and the bad), about how it can help the local development process, how it helps teams, and some of the really cool things it can do. In 10 tips and tricks, I'll go through some of the things I've learned, that have helped me, and that I think are just plain cool.

Without giving away too many spoilers it will involve linux, raspberry Pis, and and a certain mid 90s first person shooter, although not all at the same time.

I've given a version of this talk previously at ddd south west and received generally good feedback from developers inexperienced with docker and those familiar with it.
