Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

While this series does not live up to its name, it does provide a great deal of useful information for basic users in a very readable fashion. FrontPage is Microsoft's popular HTML editor, and, at its most fundamental, it allows users to create web pages in an environment much like Word or other tools in the Microsoft Office suite. In Plotkin's title, readers first learn FrontPage 2002's new features, then move on to creating individual web pages. Pence's HTML runs the gamut of similar tutorials. FrontPage 2002 is recommended for all libraries; skip HTML if you have like guides.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction, December 28, 2001

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Frontpage 2002 (How to Do Everything) (Paperback)

Reviewer: johare4

Of course, a title like "how to do everything..." is just a set -up for failure. But who is taken in these days by exaggerated claims?

This book is a really excellent introduction. Open the book anywhere and you know almost at once what problem the author is solving and what utility is being added to the web page. Go to the index and find exactly what you are looking for. Want to find how to set the default font? Right in the index under font and described in detail on p. 448. I am amazed how often this simple, basic information is missing or buried in Frontpage books. (Buyen's "Inside Out" stuffs basic info like this inconveniently into a CD.)

Plotkin is enthusiastic, well organized, and reader-oriented. You are taken from a level assuming no understanding of the ubiquitous Word/Excel menus/toolbars to a level adequate for all but professional web developers.

Bottom line: Frontpage 2002 is different. If you are fairly new to Frontpage and want to know what features do what, how to use them and how to navigate the (expletive deleted) menus, this is the book to get.
