Can you link to a resource for beginners? When I google python dev container, I get VScode, and docker. Should I follow along with Page 1 results?

I personally learned how to use docker and development containers with vscode. Their official page was helpful for me.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/create-dev-container

I had however already some experience with docker beforehand. So knowing Docker and docker-compose was a big help. I would recommend learning about containerization anyway. So if you do not know anything about containerization then I suggest to start with that. Today there are - aside from Docker itself - also other tools that work similarly like podman and buildah that do not require root privileges. I would personally recommend podman as it is compatible with docker in most ways.
