Dockerization involves two key concepts: images and containers. Images serve as blueprints for containers, containing all the necessary information to create a container. A container is a runtime instance of an image, comprising the image itself, an execution environment, and runtime instructions. In this article, we will provide a hands-on guide to dockerizing your Rails and React applications in detail.

Shadow DOM is a web standard enabling encapsulation of DOM subtrees in web components. It allows developers to create isolated scopes for CSS and JavaScript within a document, preventing conflicts with other parts of the page. Shadow DOM's key feature is its "shadow root," serving as a boundary between the component's internal structure and the rest of the document.

For a side project, I turned to Wikipedia tables as a data source. Despite their inconsistencies, they proved quite useful. I explored three methods for extracting this data: - Google Sheets: Easily scrape tables using the =importHTML function. - Pandas and Python: Use pd.read_html to load tables into dataframes. - Beautiful Soup and Python: Handle more complex scraping, such as extracting data from both tables and their preceding headings. These methods simplify data extraction, though some cleanup is needed due to inconsistencies in the tables. Overall, leveraging Wikipedia as a free and accessible resource made data collection surprisingly easy. With a little effort to clean and organize the data, it's possible to gain valuable insights for any project.
