2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, November 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: FrontPage 2003 Bible (Paperback)

This book obviously reflects a beta version of FrontPage 2003- much critical information is either missing or just plain wrong. Also, it's not nearly as filled with insights and explanatory information as many similar books: often, there's nothing added to what appears in the actual program's menus and wizards. The book was poorly edited and its content flow very disjointed. Its graphics are not particularly useful. This book is simply a poorly updated version of an earlier version, obviously rushed to market to be the first out of the gate. I recommend that folks try other books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, May 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: FrontPage 2003 Bible (Paperback)

This book only offers the most of cursory looks at FP 2003. After the numerous chapters about navigating menus and using basic Windows commands, the quickness of the database section was disappointing. SQL was tossed at the reader without any acknowledgement of the structure.

But the biggest disappointment was that Dynamic Web Templates were not discussed at all! The term does not even show up in the index. Given that this is one of the new features of FP 2003, I feel as though I squandered the money I paid for on this book.

Only someone who knows absolutely nothing about FP and designing web pages would glean much use from this book. Given that set of skills, that person probably should not be building web sites to begin with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and follow, November 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: FrontPage 2003 Bible (Paperback)

I don't have a lot of experience with FrontPage, but this book has really helped me get everything moving forward. Good chapters and easy to follow content. I know I'll refer to this book again and again.
