A beginner-friendly breakdown of core Docker terminology using plain-English analogies. Covers Dockerfile (recipe), Image (frozen snapshot), Container (running instance), Volume (persistent storage), Port mapping (network tunnels), and Registry (cloud storage for images). Uses everyday comparisons like CD-ROMs, USB drives, and app stores to demystify Docker jargon for developers without a DevOps background.
