1
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:03,170
Now in this course

2
00:00:03,170 --> 00:00:06,420
we are primarily going to run a lot of commands

3
00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:07,730
in the command line.

4
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:10,930
But we're also going to run these commands on projects

5
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:12,770
which are written with Node.js

6
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:14,690
or other programming languages.

7
00:00:14,690 --> 00:00:16,690
So there will be code in this course

8
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:19,610
and there will be configuration falls like this.

9
00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:22,850
Therefore you will need a code editor to follow along.

10
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:26,210
And you can of course use any editor of your choice

11
00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:28,830
but I do recommend Visual Studio Code

12
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:32,040
especially if you don't know which editor to choose.

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,410
It's a free editor,

14
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:37,420
a free IDE available for Mac OS, Windows and Linux.

15
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:40,560
It's amazing and you can simply install it

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,660
form code.visualstudio.com, walk through that installer

17
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:47,160
and then have that tool installed here

18
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,180
which you see in the background.

19
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:52,290
You can then always open projects with file open

20
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:55,290
and then opening the folder which contains your code.

21
00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:57,410
And if you wanna have the same look as I do,

22
00:00:57,410 --> 00:01:01,000
you can go to the preferences and there on color theme

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,990
pick the dark plus default dark theme.

24
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:07,230
That's the theme I'm using which will give you that look.

25
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:10,560
In addition you can use the view menu here

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600
to adjust the appearance

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,010
and show, and height, side and status bars.

28
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:19,210
And you can also go to the extensions menu here

29
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:21,640
to install certain extensions.

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,470
And here I can recommend the Docker extension

31
00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:25,650
since that will help you

32
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:28,340
with writing these configuration files.

33
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:30,120
It will actually make that a bit easier

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600
so that's something you might wanna look into.

35
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,470
I can also recommend that you install the prettier extension

36
00:01:36,470 --> 00:01:39,350
because whilst you're not going to write a lot of code

37
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:42,330
this can help you with code auto formatting

38
00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:45,373
to basically automatically clean up your code.

39
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:48,420
Besides that should be all

40
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:50,450
and these are although just some ideas

41
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:52,250
not something you have to use.

42
00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:55,230
Just the setup I will be using throughout this course

43
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:57,290
and therefore with that setup

44
00:01:57,290 --> 00:01:59,180
let's now get our hands dirty

45
00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:02,230
and let's write some first Docker code

46
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:05,023
or bring up our first Docker container.
