Initializing the project

Idea discussed here: https://github.com/h5bp/lazyweb-requests/issues/86 A better portfolio - For Developers/Programmers. (Current, a prototype for web application for my own portfolio. Will extend it to a framework once basic setup is done!)

The aim of the project

• Build a portfolio tailored for a developer (a personal project at first)
• Eventually, the idea is to have a framework setup for creating/customizing portfolios specifically tailored for developers/programmers.

Currently, I am working on this project as a Portfolio for myself. I am using all the libraries and AppEngine mentioned below, so that I can setup the basic framework. To make it a customizable portfolio builting framework will be better once I have this!

• HTML5-Boilerplate(https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate | http://html5boilerplate.com)
• Metro-UI-CSS (https://github.com/olton/Metro-UI-CSS)
