Adam Freeman

Adam Freeman writes practical guides for software developers, drawing on a career that included senior technology and operations roles in international banking. Essential Docker for ASP.NET Core MVC, published by Apress in 2017, explains how containerization can support the development, testing, deployment, and scaling of web applications built with Microsoft’s framework. Freeman moves from Docker images and containers through volumes, networks, Compose, Swarms, and a complete containerized development workflow. The book is aimed at developers who already understand ASP.NET Core MVC and want consistent environments from their own machines to production systems. It sits beside Freeman’s extensive work on Angular, TypeScript, C#, design patterns, and successive editions of Pro ASP.NET Core. His approach favors worked examples and direct demonstrations over abstract treatment, making the technical decisions visible as a project develops. Essential Docker for ASP therefore points to a very specific part of a broader teaching project: helping professional programmers understand both a tool and the reasons for using it.
