5.0 out of 5 stars Much easier to use than a typical reference guide!, June 30, 2000

I'm so impressed with this book I intend to purchase more in the series. While it doesn't have the depth of a 400 page reference guide, I'm sure most people will be much happier with the results from it. By being able to see, in colour, exactly what you're supposed to be doing, you'll learn things much faster. The book even shows pictures of the menus, and which option you need to choose in order to proceed with the desired function. I also liked the way the book picked the topics most people would want to understand better about Frontpage. Most people don't want to sell product and track inventory from their personal website. This book focuses on what beginners want to be able to do. For example, it shows you how to create a home page, how to make navigation buttons appear on top and different navigation buttons appear on the left of your page, and how to use photos and other objects in your web page. It also helps you understand the built-in wizards, and how you can use them to create web pages simply and quickly. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, April 2, 2000

Everything in this book is explained through a colorful visual image, meaning that you don't have to waste time trying to find the xxx command somewhere on the interface. You don't even have to be at a terminal to learn the software -- read the book, then sit down at a machine and you'll be up and running.

This book has both strengths and weaknesses. It is very good in my opinion in giving you an overview of how to create nice looking web pages in Frontpage 2000. The book is laid out in a logical fashion with easy to read text and lots of illustrations. Its disadvantages are that it only really gives you the basics of creating web pages. It is limited in that it shows you only how to work with the pull-down menus in the program itself. For more advanced stuff you will have to go to Matthew and Poulsen's FRONTPAGE 2000: THE COMPLETE REFERENCE.

Its an average book as I said. Got me generating web pages in an afternoon.
