While this book is not the most exhaustive and technical book around, this is a GREAT book for those that are new to FrontPage97. While other books may provide a wealth of hard-core technical data, they tend to gloss over one very important subject...how to use the product at all. This book, on the other hand, will walk you through FrontPage97 from beginning to end and show you (step-by-step) how to use FrontPage97. The book also spends a fair amount of time walking you through the configuration and use of Microsoft Personal Web Server and FrontPage's Web Server - which are necessities that other book (at least that I looked at) didn't cover too well. A little more detail could have been spent going more in depth on advanced topics such as database connectivity. That being said, though, this book at least had a fairly good section on database connectivity to get you started. Most other FrontPage books I glanced through completely left it out or glossed over this (potentially complicated) subject entirely. Even with some minor deficiencies, this book is an outstanding book for probably 75% of all normal users. Only advanced sys-admin's and web applications developers will crave more info. For the rest of us mortals, this book will definitely satisfy you. All-in-all, after about 1-2 hours with this book, I was able to do things with FrontPage97 that amazed me. If you're new to FrontPage97, this book is definitely worth buying
