CloudSkills Podcast Interview: Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices

I recently chatted with my friend Mike Pfieffer who runs the CloudSkills.fm podcast about Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices. Mike works a lot in the DevOps space and I work in the developer space (and do some DevOps as well) so it was a fun discussion about challenges that come up in both worlds. We discussed the benefits of containers, the role of Kubernetes, and how both can play an important role when working with Microservices.

ngAir Podcast: Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker

I had the opportunity to chat with Justin, Bonnie, Alyssa, and Austin about Angular and Docker on the ngAir podcast recently and really enjoyed talking with everyone. We talked about the benefits of containers from a developer and DevOps standpoint, how to create custom images with Dockerfiles, how to build/push/pull images, and how to run containers. We of course focused on the role that containers can play with Angular applications but the concepts apply to any front-end app (or back-end app for that matter). Here are some of the key links mentioned in the podcast: ​Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker […]


New Pluralsight Course: Containerizing Angular Applications with Docker

I’m excited to announce the release of my next course on Pluralsight titled Containerizing Angular Applications with Docker! This course walks you through the process of containerizing front-end applications (with a focus on Angular) using Docker images and containers. Here are a few questions this course will help you answer: Why “containerize” front-end applications? Should I consider using a CDN? How can I serve front-end applications created with Angular (or other libraries/frameworks) using nginx? How do I create a custom Dockerfile and custom image for my application? What is a multi-stage build and how can I use it to build […]


Video: Microservices with Docker, Angular, and ASP.NET Core

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group in Denver, Colorado about Microservices, Docker, Angular, and ASP.NET Core which was a lot of fun. Briebug sponsored the event at Alamo Drafthouse and we had a great turnout!  Thanks to Briebug for organizing the event (really appreciate Anne, Jesse, and Bill for everything they did) and for everyone that came out to see the talk. Here’s an overview of what the talk was all about: Learn about the role that microservices can play in today’s enterprise environments in this talk by Dan Wahlin. Learn what a microservice is, how […]


Getting Started with Machine Learning using TensorFlow and Docker

Machine Learning (ML) gets a lot of press now days and for good reason. It can be used to gain insight into areas that were difficult to tap into even a few years ago. Want to know what type of object is shown in a picture? Machine learning can tell you. Need help predicting the next big stock to buy based on historical trends? Machine learning can help out there as well. The sky is the limit! Machine Learning (and more specifically a technique for implementing it called Deep Learning (DL)) can help analyze financial information, filter spam, examine healthcare records, assess […]


“Containerizing” Angular with Docker: My ng-conf Talks and Overall Experience

ng-conf 2018 is officially over….too bad it can’t go on forever. It’s such a great conference that you don’t want it to end. In addition to hearing a lot of high-quality talks from the Angular team and other awesome speakers, I had the opportunity to hang out with John Papa a lot (one of my best friends) as well as several other close friends, and made many new friends throughout the week as well (thanks to my buddy Brian Clark for the picture to the right). Here’s a little information about the conference and my overall experience. If you’re only interested in videos […]


Channel 9 Video: Five Things About Docker 2

I had the opportunity to sit down with Simona Cotin (Azure Developer Advocate at Microsoft) at the AngularMix conference to talk about “Five Things About Docker”. The video is one in a series of “Five Things” videos being created and produced by the Azure Developer Advocate team at Microsoft and presents various tech topics in a fun way. This particular video is focused on Docker and a few of the things I really like about it.

“Containerizing” Angular with Docker

I had the opportunity to speak at the AngularMix conference in Orlando about something that I think every developer should learn more about – containers. The talk was titled “Containerizing” Angular with Docker and discussed the following concepts as they relate to Angular applications: Application deployment over the years The need for containers How can Docker containers help? Creating a custom Docker image Moving containers to the cloud You can get to the content shown in the talk at http://codewithdan.me/angular-containers.
