A Complete Web Development Guide for ALL FrontPage Users, February 12, 2002
This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
......If you use FrontPage 2002 and want to get the most out of it, this is your book. Buyens covers nearly every important aspect of Web development from site planning to development and deployment. He teaches you how to use FrontPage to do this and fills in the gaps (that any WYSIWYG development tool will leave). The topics include: every aspect of FrontPage 2002 (given), building and managing whole Web sites, design conventions (fonts, colors, graphics, etc.), Cascading Style Sheets, HTML, forms, Web server info, Active Server Pages, database usage, and a host of others. He gives lots of code snippets that you need as well as tips and tricks; intermediates and beginners will benefit greatly from this. More advanced topics like ASP and ADO are given a good introduction if you want it. The CD adds several bonus chapters of advanced content and tools. ......At first scan, I was a little overwhelmed with the whole book. When I finally sat down to go through the whole book (and actually read it) each chapter made great sense. I was able to skim a few sections that I knew well, but still got some helpful "inside" information from them. This book is very comprehensive and is not overly technical. ......I recommend it both for the IT pro who wants complete control over his/her Web site design and management and for enthusiastic beginners (and everyone in between). If you just want to create simple Web pages like Word docs, I suggest something like _Front Page, Step by Step_ instead. If you want to use FrontPage to create dynamic, quality, and easy to maintain Web sites, this is your COMPLETE reference.

I though I knew FrontPage until I read this book., July 8, 2001
This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
As the arrival of Office XP is here so too are a new set of applications and the learning of the application features are imperative to making sure you are getting the most out of the application possible. Since Microsoft created the application, it's no surprise that they are the first to produce a book to help you out. The book takes Front Page 2002 apart step by step and module by module. The author has gone to great pains to make sure that every part of the application is broken down and explained so there is no doubt of how and why things work the way they do. From the beginning of this 1200 plus page book you cover topics such as planning the website, using wizards to create sites automatically, editing the basic page, how to publish and the structuring of the web pages. From there you move on to areas like animation within the page, database integration, personal web server and active X controls. The cdrom included has bonus section like active server pages, visual basic applications and creating your own customized copy of Front Page. Overall there is a great deal of information in this book. While the book is tailored for the intermediate to advanced user there is bound to be something in here for everyone.

Microsoft Frontpage Version 2002 Inside Out, July 7, 2001
This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
Jim Buyens has written another great book on FrontPage. Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002 Inside Out is 1213 page and over 2 inches thick. Saying it is jam-packed is an understatement. There are hundreds of solutions and great time saving steps. Jim is great for giving you the straight scoop on everything; he is very detailed and easy to read. Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002 Inside Out is jam-packed with screen shoots. There are an abundance of Tips, Notes and Troubleshooting guides throughout the book. Both the novice and intermediate will get something out of this book. Experts should be writing books like this. The companion CD is designed to actually work with the book and not put in as an after thought. I have been using FrontPage 2000 for about 2 years and found Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002 Inside Out, an outstanding resource and learn tool. If your office is upgrading to FP2002, you should not be without this book. If you are new to FrontPage then you should defiantly not be with out this book. In fact if you do not purchase Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002 Inside Out when you purchase FrontPage 2002 you WILL regret it. Even if you get this book for NEW FEATURES, you will not regret it.
