5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Coverage of the Latest FrontPage, March 15, 2005
This review is from: FrontPage 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
FrontPage was designed for Dummies. (Well, let's be more polite and say not dumb people, but people unfamiliar with this product.) And Microsoft has continued this tradition. FrontPage 2003 is much more closely integrated into the Microsoft Office environment that it was a few versions ago. There is now support for cascading style sheets, database connectivity (ASP and PHP), XML, and VBA programming.

I kind of wonder though at the thought of a software package that needs a 792 page book to describe it as being for dummies. There's gotten to be an awful lot in FrontPage.

This book is divided into nine books. These are organized in such a way that you don't need to read all of them to start using FrontPage in a productive way. For instance if you are doing static (not database) related pages, there are several book that you don't need to read, you can save them until you need that material.

If you've made the decision to use FrontPage, here is the most complete reference book available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Time or Money, March 14, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FrontPage 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
When I bought this book and the software for front page I had never created a website, was not at all familiar with computer programming but was quite familiar with the Microsoft Office Suite. The great thing about front page is that you do not need to know anything about computer programming to use it. I don't think the author caught wind of that... I tried to read the book to get started on a web page but it made absolutely no sense. Then, I tried the free tutorials on the Microsoft website. They were extremely informative and since then I have been able to make many great looking webpages. I went back to my book to see if it made any sense to me now that I have a better understanding of Frontpage and I still have no clue about what is going on in that book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly for dummies, January 23, 2007
This review is from: FrontPage 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
I bought this book after purchasing another book on Frontpage that was way over my head. I bought it thinking that it would be basic enough to begin to learn how to use Frontpage but it is not. It is similar to the other book describing features of Frontpage that I do not understand. I have used other "Dummies" books to get a start on a subject but this did not help me at all. I think it would have helped me to have some examples of how the pieces go togather. There are plenty of technical works on Frontpage to go to once one has a basic idea. In the beginning of the book John writes that "it is assummed that the reader knows how to use the keyboard and the mouse" The reader has to know much more than that to get a benefit from this book. It is probably a very good book for someone with some experence with the basic concepts, but it was not helpful at all for me. I went out and hired someone to build my webpage.
