Customer Reviews

Praise from a purchaser not in the web publishing business

This book reads so much better than the manual that Microsoft includes with Frontpage. Chapter One starts off by introducing the reader to the internet (which should give you a clue that the book is written to be beneficial to anybody, not just professionals.) Once you skip Chapter One (as most of us will!), you will find a very thorough, plain-speaking, methodically written manual that teaches you with simple tutorials how to use Frontpage. There are also tons of hints and tips and it is all laid out beautifully. In addition, there are disks that can be downloaded for free at course.com to accompany the examples you use. The tutorials themselves don't take much time to complete, but if you need more practice at the end of the chapter, there are additional exercises you can do. It is impossible not to understand what you are doing when you've finished them.As a career student who already has her degrees, but who goes back every so often and dabbles with this and that when something interests me, I've seen more textbooks and manuals than I care to contemplate. This is the first time, however, that I've bothered to praise one in writing. If you want help learning Frontpage (which, by the way, is an excellent program), then definitely purchase this book :)

Book Review

Excellent book. Takes you step by step. Covers basic and advanced features. Easy to follow and lots of assignments.

Easy step-by-step Tutorials

I have not had an opportunity to read the entire book, however, I have been able to use 4 of the books tutorials. As an IS professional who is looking to broaden my skills set, I don't like books that make me feel I am wasting my time. The tutorials in this book will help a novice computer user build a great looking web site, but will not bore more advanced users with un-needed instruction. Each tutorial has a "cliff notes" version of what will be accomplished in the lesson, so you can "cheat" ahead passed things you may already know. I...look forward to learning more about FrontPage 2000.
