Dockerized learnyounode

Intro

learnyounode is an interactive course to learn the basics of node.js

When I started to put the exercises into a container I naturally installed sshd along with nano and git, but as I learnt more about the 'docker way' I realised this was going against the grain.

This repo is my attempt to access everything needed to do the full course without having to interact with the container through a bash shell or ssh. To enable the correct parameters to be passed into the container I have put together a quick bash script used to launch the container. The script is not essential but it does save a lot of typing.

TL;DR
