Lately, I’ve seen lots of people that want to become ”full stack” developers. So, I wanted to do a quick post just to clarify what it means to be ”full stack”. And, to be honest, the term ”full stack” is sometimes confusing for me as well; because it can mean something different depending who you are talking to. I will be also explaining other roles such as DevOps and even talk a little about the difference between full stack and“Unicorn” developers.

DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.
I wrote an article with a basic explanation of what is Docker. Being able to talk about Docker with a little bit of confidence is great; but, how do I use it? In this article, I will show you how to use Docker by example. You’ll learn how to install WordPress with Docker with little effort. Reading this tutorial will help you be more confident and knowing how to get a docker image running from scratch.
Docker is the name given to a set of products, that provide Platform as a Service capability, to deploy our software. We use these products to deliver our software in packages referred to as “containers” using Operating System virtualization strategies. I hope that by the end of this post you can be familiar with Docker and understanding its benefits. To achieve this, I will briefly start explaining Virtual Machines and how Docker containers are an evolution of those.
