According to a recent survey by New Relic, Java is “by far the most sought‑after programming skill in job ads – especially for enterprise positions”.

The ebook is written by Arun Gupta, a founding member of the Java EE team – first at Sun Microsystems, then at Oracle. Arun has served on the staff of JavaOne for 15 years, spoken at all major Java conferences, and inspired thousands to get the most out of Java and new technologies as well.
Along with Docker and Java, Arun highlights the use of NGINX and NGINX Plus, which bring strong advantages in “Dockerized” environments.
