1. Talks about the project and data pipeline

2. Show how to ingest the Twitter stream

3. Explain sentiment analysis and how to do it using Python

4. Explain Redis and show how to setup a local server

5. Design a pen &paper mockup, then convert to front-end code

6. Prepare a custom Python class to preprocess and format data fields

7. Build a simple Flask server to combine all the code so far

8. Explores further improvements to the pipeline
