So I wrote a book: presenting Practical Docker With Python

So yeah that actually happened! I’ve always wanted to publish a book and thanks to Apress publishing - that is a reality now. The book is titled “Practical Docker With Python: Build, Release and Distribute your Python App with Docker” and is targeted at people who are new to Docker and want to containerize their application (with an example Python chat bot). The book starts with a brief introduction to containers and Docker, guides you on how to get started with Docker before diving into deeper topics such as Docker Networks, Volumes and Compose.

You can buy the book on Apress.com or Amazon either as an Kindle eBook or a paperback (if you buy both I will be very happy :P) or if you have a O’Reilly Learning (previously known as Safari Books Online) Online subscription, you can read the book on the website or the App for free.

I’ve spent a lot of time working on the book and I’d really appreciate feedback - whether as reviews on Amazon, Goodreads or as email - please do feel free to send me any feedback - I’d love to improve upon what I have started.

Round of thanks to my Adobe I/O colleagues(especially Sangeetha) for making a poster of the book cover and gifting me this as a poster - will treasure it forever!

Containers are slowly becoming the standardized units of deployment. As containers become more popular, they also become the focus targets for attacking the system via vulnerabilities present in the packages within the image. There are quite a few container vulnerability scanning solutions (example: Clair, Twistlock, now Prisma Cloud, Aqua – however most of them are either commercial or require an elaborate setup, which makes it difficult for individual developers to involve them as part of the container build process.
Chrome’s active extension icons in Omnibox annoyance

I’m a huge fan of Chrome & pretty much loved whatever changes Chrome team have done to the browser since it’s inception. This change, however, is probably the first annoying thing that I’ve run into. Few days ago, after the latest dev channel update, all the extension icons on went missing. I initially thought all my extensions got wiped out. However, after heading over to chrome://extensions I realized that the update had a new “Show button” feature next to the extensions list and they had been set to hide all :|
