Customer Reviews

Great Reference - I Use It Daily!

Fantastic Reference. I would call myself an intermediate user of Frontpage 2003. I run 5 websites and I use this book almost everytime I get stuck with an issue. It has not failed to cover anything I have needed knowledge on. I now use online forms, thanks solely to the information provided in this book. Those sections alone on forms and databases make it worth the money I paid for this book. I find that MS FP 2003 was a great upgrade from 2002 and I find that this book was the perfect learning tool and reference to go along with it. For the beginner, it is easy enough to use to understand and follow along and to grow with. I did check out several other books on this topic and none come close to this one.

Solid Tool for Learning Frontpage

I have been pushing the envelope of FrontPage's capabilities for the past several years on my website, www.TrainingCity.com . Over the years I have become very familiar with FrontPage. When a friend asked for a recommendation for a FrontPage book that could take a person from "beginner to expert" I looked at a number of possible texts. After reviewing several I came to the conclusion that this text was the overall best book to buy and keep. It covers everything Frontpage can do and provides a very well written set of explanations and examples.

Paid for Itself Immediately

I judge all technical books based upon return on investment. If a book saves me time, that has value. I assess the value at $25 per hour of time saved, so I break even on a $50 book if I save 2 hours. I broke even on this book before I left the bookstore. I chose 5 topics, looked them up in the index, and read the reference. I learned something new and useful on 2 out of the 5 topics, enough so that I immediately was able to accomplish a task that had stumped me. I looked at four other books while I was in the store and none addressed my 5 topics. I've had the book for a week and it's helped me move along on many other issues. Before I had the book, I was using online help, Microsoft's materials at the FrontPage site, and other sites around the Web, none of which helped. 'Inside Out' is a winner.

FrontPage 2003 Review

I found this book very helpful. I am new to web design (fairly large amount of prior computer experience) and have found that with your book, I have been able to get up and running very quickly in FrontPage. I am well on my way to developing a website for my existing bricks and mortar business and a site for a new web-based business, all in a few days working between my other obligations. Thanks for a great product.
