    Los labs son inaccesibles. Dicen que son gratuitos y cuando quieres acceder te quieren cobrar. Las explicaciones no son claras en lo que respecta a usar una cuenta temporal. No me parece la mejor forma de introducirse en esta tecnología

    Se indica el curso como gratis y los labs son de pago... una pena que no se pueda avanzar por culpa de esto.
