Dev Ops. Digital image. Shippable Delivers Docker DevOps, Without The Devops. Forbes, n.d. Web 17 JUN 2015 <http://www.forbes.com/sites/benkepes/2015/06/17/shippable-delivers-docker-devops-without-the-devops/>
Introduction
In this blog series titled “DevOps for the Dotish” I will share with you material that has helped me throughout my life learn technology concepts, and material that I still reference today. I have shared these books/articles/references many times over with people looking to learn or brush up. I figured it’s about time I consolidated this list on this new fangled thing called the internet!
DevOps is a fairly new topic and can be pretty daunting to learn as it covers competencies from all layers of the stack. I’ll split it up into sections so that the material is logically grouped and so that it is easier to digest. I will also be adding to these sections as I discover new material or come across something I think you may benefit from. So like fine wine these articles will get better with time!
Dotish
doe·tish | Trinidadian |adjective
Silly, foolish, or dumb.
“This is serious, don’t be dotish!”
For those wondering about the origin and use of the word Dotish, it comes from a culture I adore. My fiancé is from Trinidad, a country whose culture anyone can easily fall in love with as its’ filled with celebration, loving life, feeling free, and savoring all things. I take offense to the word Dummies, so I substituted the word with Dotish as it’s a fun way to call someone a dummy. Try it with a Trini Accent!
