Hi there To me, Docker, is a tool for DevOps. Having said that I have seen many fellow devs also played with it. At my work place also, we also have Docker-based QA environment. I must admit I have yet to get to the bottom of it. I remember last year, Dave Cross, did 4-part Into the Cloud Series. It was my first informal introduction to Docker. Talking about Docker, I would also like to share, a recent blog by Gabor Szabo, touching the Docker base. Did you take part in the recent survey by TPF Marketing team? Well the survey is closed now and the result is out. Please check it out. I couldn't resist myself from sharing the Team PWC achievement. Well Team PWC has completed 100+ contributions for 3 consecutive weeks for the first time. It is a big thing, if you ask me, as we only done this 2 consecutive weeks in the past. Why not join The Weekly Challenge, if you haven't done so already and have fun every week? It is very easy to join, just drop us a line at perlweeklychallenge@yahoo.com. I would like to thank all the supporters on Patreon for the generosity. Gabor and I appreciate your support and encouragement. Last but not the least, you please take care of yourself and your loved one. Enjoy rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

Imagine a place known for its stunning Mediterranean coastline, famous for its festivals, and so welcoming that locals are often called “some of the nicest people in the world.” Now imagine that you can trade your current home base for one that’s chock-a-block with history, incredible cuisine, and postcard-worthy views around every corner. Too good to be true? Only if you don’t read on! |
|
For many of our developers, 2020’s also been an exceptionally uncertain year. Lay-offs, furloughs, comapnies implementing strict cost-cutting measures. Wouldn’t it be nice to work for a company that’s actually been _growing_ during lockdown? Our client’s in a buouyant position, and they’re looking for someone like you to come and join them. |
|
The client bankrolling this exciting new mission is one of the UK’s leading estate agencies. With over 60 branches, they’ve got eyes everywhere. Their website is on fire, and that’s where you come in: they’re looking for a senior-level Perl programmer who is never shaken nor stirred, no matter the situation. If Modern Perl fits like a calfskin glove then this might be the role for you. |
|
Our client is a financial company whose growth over the last twenty years has been nothing short of impressive. They started with the idea that online trading should be available to all, and from there, they’ve built a company with multiple locations worldwide. If you want to be part of a business that is thriving, this may be the perfect opportunity for you. |
