5.0 out of 5 stars Finally--a neat nitty gritty book on Netobjects Fusion!, February 11, 2009

How to Do Everything: NetObjects Fusion 11 I can't tell you how long I've waited for a good user's guide to Netobjects Fusion, my favorite HTML editor. Each year the software has gotten more powerful; each year the written documentation has grown more sparse. With the introduction of Netobjects Fusion 11, I was at the end of my patience with fighting the glitches between Windows Vista and Netobjects Fusion 10. I had reviewed the users' groups, the software's online documentation, and performed several searches for reviews and comments about the new version. I actually decided to upgrade only because David Plotkin's book was available, which was a wise choice. It's a pleasure to read, easily understandable to a novice user or an experienced website developer. For me, it was written at just the right level as there were some of the newer, more sophisticated functions within Fusion that I wanted to work with but didn't want to plow through the documentation offered, such as data base publishing, using Flash, Java, and ActiveX. Even simple things in Netobjects now have so many options that it is invaluable to have a guide with good graphical images accompanying the text so you get a complete picture without having to work with your software and the book at the same time. Especially valuable are the handy tips and tricks that appear throughout the text as "Notes" that cover little shortcuts, alternate choices, and warnings. There is also a companion website, which is a big asset. If you have waited for a good basic user's guide to Netobjects Fusion, this is a good place to start. It will not only explain the latest Netobjects Fusion 11, but if you have been somewhat lax in keeping up with the new bells and whistles of the software as it's developed, this book will bring you up to date.

Net Objects Fusion is great software and the built in documentation is very good.
But this is the book you need if you want simple, clear explanations of how to build web sites. Because Net Objects is so powerful and has so many options, the built in documentation covers everything. And the presentation is in condensed form, without explanations.
This book is the right starting point because the presentation format and organization are so easy to follow.
I recommend it for any novice to mid level user.
