Checking the new JupyterLab environment

If you feel like using JupyterLab and want to be a precursor of using the interface that will become a standard in a short time, you can just switch from issuing $> jupyter notebook to $> jupyter lab. JupyterLab will start automatically on your browser at the http://localhost:8888 address:

You will be welcomed by a user interface composed of a launcher, where you can find many starting options represented as icons (in the original interface they were menu items), and a series of tabs offering direct access to files on disks, on Google Drive, showing the running kernels and notebooks, and commands for configuring the notebook and formatting the information in it.

Basically, it is an advanced and flexible interface, which is especially useful if you access all such resources on a remote server, allowing you to have everything at a glance on the very same workbench.
