This review is from: FrontPage 2002 Bible (Paperback)

I teach Electronic Commerce at Mountain View College of the Dallas County Community College District. My classes include lab assignments using FrontPage. Students are very creative and go far beyond the assignments. Sometimes, the lab assistants cannot answer their questions. They asked me for a reference. I asked Scott Sample [a great trainer, very knowledgable about Microsoft products] to recommend a book. He told me about the FrontPage Bible. I agree! The FrontPage Bible is a great reference. I have reviewed many textbooks, but none compare to the FrontPage Bible. If you really want to learn FrontPage, use the FrontPage Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars This "Bible" is missing a few verses!, April 10, 2002

This review is from: FrontPage 2002 Bible (Paperback)

The cover of the book states "100% -COMPREHENSIVE- AUTHORITATIVE- WHAT YOU NEED- ONE HUNDRED PERCENT". Now call me naïve, but to me that statement means this book has everything I could possibly want to know about FrontPage 2002! Unfortunately, that's not the case.

I first attempted to find information in the book about subwebs. I hear them referenced quite a bit and wanted to know what they are, how they're used and how to create one. The book makes some vague references to subwebs, but no detailed descriptions about them anywhere.

Next I wanted to find out how I can assign passwords to certain web pages to restrict the permissions for browsing pages. The only password information in the book pertains to administration of the web in FrontPage itself and nothing about assigning passwords to users.

Lastly I went to the book to learn about SharePoint Team Services. The book has much information about this topic, but under the heading "Administering a SharePoint Site" it reads "Complete coverage of these topics is beyond the scope of this book..." Doesn't 100% include complete coverage?

I suppose with a topic as vast as Web design, and especially with a program as big as FrontPage, it would be rather difficult to include every single bit of information one could possibly want or need. But I thought the information for which I was searching would certainly be covered in a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, COMPREHENSIVE, WHAT YOU NEED- Bible!

Maybe I need to find a "Bible" with a cover that boasts "ONE HUNDRED TWENTY PERCENT"?!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MANUAL TO EXPLAIN IT ALL, January 18, 2002

This review is from: FrontPage 2002 Bible (Paperback)

After using Front Page 2001 and 2002 for 9 months, I have finally found a book that is comprehensive, informative and written for the "average joe". I am an online retailer that has a FP generated website. Although I was pleased with FP already, the FP Bible 2002 gave me the insight and ammunition I needed to make my good site, fantastic! Highly recommend this book. (If you have never used Front Page before, I recommend getting a more basic book like "Front Page for Dummies" or "Front Page for Busy People" for a beginning reference.)
