Where should I begin?

Deciding where to start is a real cost, and for some people it is the whole barrier. This is here so you can hand that decision over and get moving.

Where should I begin?

Four questions. There is no wrong entry point, and you can change tracks whenever you like. This exists so that picking one is not the thing that stops you.

1. How do you feel about a terminal?

At home in oneFine with commands I already knowIt makes me nervous

2. Which of these have you actually touched before?

Containers, or something like themAPIs, Postman, or webhooksNeither, really

3. What is the nearest thing you are preparing for?

An interview with a live troubleshooting roundA support role I have already startedNo deadline, I want the fundamentals

4. Honestly, how much focus do you have right now?

A clear couple of hoursMaybe half an hourVery little, I just want to start something

If you would rather just pick

Both entry points are genuinely fine. The difference is small:

• Docker builds the habit everything else depends on, which is proving whether something is running before you explain why it is not.
• APIs need no container knowledge and give the fastest feedback loop, so they are a gentler place to build the same evidence habit.

You can switch tracks at any point, and nothing is locked.
