===== Feedbacks =====

== From: Germán E. Regis ==
Alexander: In a translated pharagraph from spanish to english I say 
"late but sure". Sorry about time.
I send you this email to give you my brief and humble opinion about the 
course that you lecture at ECI 2007.
I so very happy with the course, ther organization was perfect, Your 
english was adecuated and easy to understand
for the listeners. In my university the course of formal languages is 
focoused to the construccion of compiler, I we
lear the basic theory of formal languages. Im suprised with the result 
thay you give at the course, focoused in the powerfull
of the formal languages and those extension to reconocite the diferent 
languages. And how a little trick to a known "formalism",
i.e. PDA o Grammars can increase enomoursly the power of them.

Thank you a lot for the Course.


Best Regards.
