James Turnbull是一位技術作傢，還是一名開源極客。他最近的大作是一本講述流行開源日誌工具的書——The LogStash Book。James還寫瞭兩本關於Puppet的書，一本是Pro Puppet以，另一本是較早的Pulling Strings with Puppet: Configuration Management Made Easy。此外，James還寫瞭Pro Linux System Administration、Pro Nagios 2.0和Hardening Linux這三本書。

James真正的工作是Kickstarter的工程副總裁。之前，James曾擔任Docker公司服務與支持副總裁、Venmo公司工程副總裁和Puppet Labs的技術運維副總裁。James熱愛美食、美酒、閱讀、攝影，還很喜歡貓咪，但對在海灘上手牽手散步卻並不熱衷。

李兆海 網名Googol Lee。使用Googol這個名字真的是因為“10的100次方”這個意思，和後來的Google公司沒有一點兒關係。多年後端程序員，早期以C、C++為主，後來轉嚮Python，現在以Go為生。曾寫過《Golang初探》發錶於2011年2月號《程序員》。Docker早期使用者。平時喜歡亂翻書，遇到感興趣的都會研究一番。Twitter賬戶@googollee。

劉斌 具有10餘年軟件開發經驗，關注後颱開發技術和各種編程語言。做過電子商務、金融、企業係統以及Android手機開發；寫過Delphi，也兼做係統管理員和DBA（現在都改叫DevOps瞭）；既做後颱應用，也要調用前颱CSS和JavaScript，可還是不敢自稱Full Stack；今又舶來Growth Hacker，我想我要做一個Growth Engineer。

A new book designed for SysAdmins, Operations staff, Developers and DevOps who are interested in deploying the open source container service Docker.

In this book, we'll will walk you through installing, deploying, managing, and extending Docker. We're going to do that by first introducing you to the basics of Docker and its components. Then we'll start to use Docker to build containers and services to perform a variety of tasks.

We're going to take you through the development life cycle, from testing to production, and see where Docker fits in and how it can make your life easier. We'll make use of Docker to build test environments for new projects, demonstrate how to integrate Docker with continuous integration workflow, and then how to build application services and platforms. Finally, we'll show you how to use Docker's API and how to extend Docker yourself.

We'll teach you how to:

* Install Docker.

* Take your first steps with a Docker container.

* Build Docker images.

* Manage and share Docker images.

* Run and manage more complex Docker containers.

* Deploy Docker containers as part of your testing pipeline.

* Build multi-container applications and environments.

* Explore the Docker API.

* Getting Help and Extending Docker.
