Professional
- My resume / Curriculum Vitae is available there, as a PDF document: resume-fgeorges.pdf.
- My thesis, « Conception du module d'accès aux Systèmes de Gestion de Bases de Données Relationnelles d'Object-Oriented C, et mise en oeuvre pour Oracle », is available here in PostScript (in French). The title can be translated into "Design of the Relational DBMS-access module for Object-Oriented C, and implementation for Oracle."
XSLT
- I have written a set of tools for Unit Testing in XSLT (and XQuery), called XTC.

- I have written in addition an XML serializer for (and in) XSLT 2.0.
