XML Data Management

dott. Chris Mair - UniBZ - 2009/2010

Read the introduction to the course and check my teaching calendar and the official syllabus at the UniBZ web site.


Exam

The first call was held 9 Feb 2010. Since the number of students present at the exam was higher than expected, some students had to wait for up to an hour after their scheduled time slot. I'm sorry for that.

The second call was held on July 1 2010.

The third and final call was held on September 9 2010.

Best wishes for all the students who attended this course :)
