Please note - this is just a first draft of the project that I will be conducting as a part of workshop. Most of the part of my workshop will be covered by practical project work and will be using PPT only for Flask introduction purpose. Looking forward to present this workshop @ PyCon 2015. :)

I will be updating the Project Overview Document regularly to give latest updates.
