I bought this book as soon as it came out. It is as excellent as I was expecting it to be. More a `Newbie" myself, the word "Professional" intimidated me, but I was familiar with Tiffany's clear and simple Tutorials on her web site which have always been a huge help to me.

Anyone can benefit from this book, beginner to professional. This book is clear, concise, and thorough. It provides handy tips and techniques and makes creating and managing databases and cascading style sheets very clear and understandable.

Logically laid out, Tiffany's book is a great lesson plan and a terrific reference book.

This is quite a pithy focused text on Frontpage. Unusually useful(despite the editorial review cited above of course you won't learn all those scripting languages mentioned).

The book quickly cuts through a lot of Frontpage flannel in order to expose the best aspects of the application. Topics are presented briskly and intelligently. Personally, I was surprised at how much I got out of it.

I was really reluctant to loan it to one of my postgrads which is the usual indicator of whether I truly value a book or not.

... The word professional in the title seems to scare some people off but that is just the series name. This book is clear consise and to the point. It supports you all the way through each section. It goes over items in the recap areas to make sure you have not missed the main points. The book is consistant throughout and I feel I know exactly where to look for the information I want and each step is explained.
