Docs: Language chosen only affects Gogs aspect of workshop #190

Having recently run this, one comment was that it wasn't immediately obvious that running (for example) the node.js workshop would also require the user to pull down and spin up the Parksmap application - which is obviously a Spring Boot app.

User was briefly concerned that they'd selected the wrong workshop. Maybe add some wording to the Workshop Summary / Architecture Overview that highlights this?

Absolutely, thanks for your feedback. The idea was to just deploy a container image, which is language-agnostic, but under the hood it's a Spring boot app. Maybe some wording about it or a general purpose icon would help in this ambiguity.

Yes - and maybe in the Workshop Summary change:

Deploying an application from source code in a Git repository.

to:

Deploying a <chosen_framework> application from source code in a Git repository.

To keep some clarity around the role a user's chosen framework plays here.

I addressed this in this commit https://github.com/openshift-labs/starter-guides/commit/96abc3ad72a7e6256feff08f7384de07317cd12f

for the second comment, I haven't yet since that requires a creation of multiple files just for this change, we'll keep in consideration.

Thanks for your help!
