5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly helpful resource, November 28, 2002

This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Plain & Simple (Cpg-Other) (Paperback)

I bought this book to help me set up my first website, and am continuing to use it as a reference tool as I improve the site. I wasn't sure I could build a site on my own, but this book provided me with just the support I needed.

One of the best things about the book is the fact that not only are the instructions clear and direct, but the images that accompany the illustrations actually show you what you're looking at on your computer screen.

Also, it's possible to skip ahead and use the book primarily as a reference manual when you want to do something specific (add a moving image or a gif to the page, for example). The author acknowledges up front that this book is intended to be used in whatever way you'll find most helpful. I appreciated his tone, very direct and not condescending, and also appreciated the specificity of his instructions.

All in all, I'd say this book is an excellent reference for someone who is just getting started with Microsoft FrontPage -- way more helpful than the guide that came with the software -- and, from what I can tell (as somewhat of a novice)it appears to be an excellent resource for people at more advanced levels who are trying to accomplish a specific (and sometimes complex) task.

Highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than worthless, March 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Plain & Simple (Cpg-Other) (Paperback)

At best this book may help somebody transition from a previous version of FrontPage to the current (2002) version. But for somebody who has never before used FrontPage (any version), this book is NOT a teaching tool.

Be skeptical of glowing 5-star reviews from critics who find absolutely no fault with the books they are reviewing. "Before reading xxxx I knew absolutely nothing but after devouring this paragon of perfection I am now totally conversant with the subject of yyyy."

5.0 out of 5 stars Plainly & Simply a great Reference, June 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft® FrontPage® Version 2002 Plain & Simple (Cpg-Other) (Paperback)

I'm teaching a workshop of beginners Front Page and searched to find a book for participants. This book is it. It is clearly illustrated with direct instruction about procedures, and the low cost is an exceptional value. I love the book's easy to understand format. It is a valuable addition to my personal program reference library.
