I wish somebody would have told me that this book is for beginners! It's a nice book, with nice pictures, and printed on fancy paper, designed for people with little computer knowledge. We all had to start somewhere, don't get me wrong, but if you are looking to get into the depths of Frontpage 2000, this book is not for you. For example, there is nothing that tells you how to work with frames (just two paragraphs in the Glossary section!) As I said, beginners will get what they paid for, everybody else will be left with disappointment.

The sheer range of features in professional web development packages like Microsoft FrontPage can be daunting to would-be webmasters. The manual that comes with the software is slim, and the majority of documentation consists of online help. What's a fellow to do?

Easy Microsoft FrontPage 2000 is the solution. Its aimed at absolute beginners, right through to casual part time web developers. Unlike most books (even the Dummies series), this book is packed full of illustrations right from Microsoft FrontPage 2000. Each page includes full color screenshots (many pages include up to three or four). This makes learning easy - no more deciphering cryptic commands and trying to see what they mean on the screen.

This book is the simplest, most accessible book on FrontPage 2000 that you will ever read. It contains step-by-step guides, accompanied by excellent screenshots and diagrams. Each page also includes little tips, which help to give you advice about extra features, and different techniques. It goes beyond simple web-editing - showing you how to submit your sites to search engines, how to use the advanced FrontPage components in your webs, and how to design professional sites. I'm very impressed with the quality, and ease-of-use of this title. For those learning web development, this is the ultimate guide to FrontPage 2000!

I was a newcomer to FrontPage, full of ideas and plans. This book did not help me. I was stranded. It is just too elementary in approach. I had a hard time even wanting to read it. May work for you, but I'd get Sam's Learn FrontPage 2000 in 24 Hours instead.

This is an excellent source for those who are NOT familiar with computing in general or FrontPage specifically. It is oversimplified, however, for those who consider themselves compupter-literate. Even so, I did learn a few tips and tricks from reading this book.

I am desperate to learn all the computer programs out there, so I buy tons of "how to" books. Some help, some are not so good. This is THE BEST how to book ever! It is so easy. I just sat at my computer and flipped through. I figured it out in about 2 hours! I do have knowledge of Microsoft's other programs, though. So if you know Word or Excel, you'll get this one really quickly.

For the beginner, this is it! This is what a tutorial should be like. I cann't praise it warmly enough. Every step is illustrated so that no one, not even a novice, should get confused or frustrated. I am ordering two other publications of the same series, hoping they are just as good.

This book is the best that I have seen in terms of guiding you through the steps needed to create basic web pages and do alot of the flashy things.

The book is in color with screen shots of what to do each step of the way. By the first third of the book you are able to create some pretty good pages.

The book takes you step by step and is written in simple English.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in building web pages. If you are familiar with any Microsoft Office products, you already have a head start.

An excellent book.

This was the first time I have ever purchased a used book. I couldn't believe what great condition it was in. It looks like a brand new book to me. I would recommend purchases this way to anyone. The price was low and the quality high. Perfect. I'd do again in a heart beat.
