This really looks awesome! Thanks Simos :)

I'll add some very small tweaking, but after a first look, it's very a
nice first shot. Well done :)
I would be interested in any comment you have about the codelab format
and style, and anything you liked/didn't like.

I'll keep you posted with a diff so that you can see what small
modifications I made to be more coherent with the other ones.

If you have any other to do, do not hesitate to keep us posted!
Cheers,
Didier
