Prerequisites

To get started you will need:

A fairly recent PC on which you can install Docker Desktop
PC should have adequate RAM. You will be running a computer in a computer and Docker shares resources with it's host so the more RAM the better.
Docker is cross platform and all the examples and tools I use in this presentation are available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Install

Docker Desktop https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
VSCode https://code.visualstudio.com/
Markdown All-In-One Extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzhang.markdown-all-in-one
Azure Data Studio https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/releases

Everything else we will be using will be downloaded via Docker. No ColdFusion or MSSQL installers!
