What You'll Learn
Mike teaches Drupal and professional web development. During those classes, he teaches students how to set up and use a local development environment for their projects. Until last year, he based those lessons on an old-school, all-in-one AMP stack.

However, those old stacks, such as WAMP and MAMP, are increasingly incompatible with modern web development techniques.

Mike spent about a year looking for an alternative. During his search, one tool rose to the top: DDEV-Local. Mike fell in love with using this new tool. He updated his training classes to use DDEV-Local and hasn't looked back since.

DDEV-Local uses Docker, a tool that allows developers to package up services in containers. The power behind Docker is that it provides a hardware-independent way of running containers, so that you can run any Docker container on any hardware that supports Docker. In a typical DDEV-Local scenario, there is a web server container, a database server container, and a database administration container. DDEV-Local provides you with reliable Docker containers and removes some of Docker's complexities.

All-in-all, DDEV-Local provides an easy-to-use, flexible, and powerful local development environment. In this short but concise book, you are going to master the key ideas behind DDEV-Local.
