Customer Reviews

Worth every penny!

I was contemplating buying a FrontPage 98 book and there are many from which to choose. Then I read a review from a disatisfied reviewer. Well, I bought the book anyway. My needs and the needs of the disatisfied reviewer were very different. This book meets my needs "to a T". No, it dosen't cover advanced topics to every extent but it does provide a good basis to get started and mention is made regarding places to get additional information for very specific needs. I'm glad that I choose to buy this reference manual. It answers the basic questions and even goes further to explain a lot of things that I didn't learn in my FrontPage 98 class that cost many times more. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get started or to polish their existing web page.

Impressive documentation and practical examples.

Impressive documentation and practical examples account for this book's high ratings. I especially admire Chapter 17's delivery on Database Connectivity. It was just what was needed to get our project off the ground.

Great samples on database access

I got this book to get to my access Db from a browser. It showed how quick and easy FP98 can CRUD (Create,Read, Update and Delete) a Db. FP98 was apparently only designed to display, but the author shows us clever tricks on extending the functonality without having to write any real code.
