TechWorld with Nana: Docker Tutorial for Beginners: study plan and how long it takes
The TechWorld with Nana playlist is 17 videos and 4.4 hours long. Here's how long it takes at different paces, a week-by-week schedule built from the real videos, and a planner that turns it into your own daily plan.
17 videos · 4.4 hours · TechWorld with Nana
Nana's Docker tutorial covers what containers are, installing Docker, the basic commands, debugging containers, Docker vs virtual machines, a full development workflow, Docker Compose, writing Dockerfiles, private repositories, volumes, deployment, Docker vs Kubernetes vs Swarm, and best practices.
It ends with a one-hour Docker Compose deep dive.
Who it's for: Developers who want to containerize their apps and understand Docker before moving on to Kubernetes.
How long does it take?
The full playlist is 4.4 hours across 17 videos. Here's roughly how many days that is at different daily watch times and speeds, counting video time only:
| Daily time | At 1x | At 1.5x | At 2x |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 min a day | 9 days | 6 days | 5 days |
| 1 h a day | 5 days | 3 days | 3 days |
| 2 h a day | 3 days | 2 days | 2 days |
Make your own schedule
The playlist link is already filled in. Press Plan, set how much time you have each day and your speed, and you'll get a day-by-day schedule with a finish date and a calendar file. It reads the live playlist, so new videos are included.
Week-by-week schedule
A sample plan at 30 minutes a day and normal speed, using whole videos so none is split across days. That's 2 weeks in total. For a different pace, start date or speed, use the planner above.
