Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

It's time to get motoring on the information superhighway, and Microsoft has made it easy for you with Microsoft FrontPage 2000 At a Glance. You can point and click your way to international acclaim with the FrontPage Web design application, whereas the At a Glance book shows how to use the software at each step of the way.

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 At a Glance is not exactly a tutorial--there aren't lessons building on one another--instead, each page or page spread contains detailed visual instruction for accomplishing a particular task, from checking your links to creating forms. Each description features numbered steps and references to those steps on one or more screenshots, efficiently showing you the best way to get your work done.

It's perfect for hands-on learners who'd rather poke around with the program than fall asleep in front of some obsolete paper-and-ink artifact, or as a quick reference for novice and intermediate FrontPage users. While you won't find everything you'd ever want to know (after all, "Java At a Glance" is an oxymoron), it covers the nuts and bolts of design quickly and thoroughly with a visual appeal that sets it apart from other reference works. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as a transition from Front Page 98., July 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 At a Glance (At a Glance (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

If you have a working knowledge of FrontPage 98 and want to have a fast start on the new features of FP2000, this is an excellent reference book. It is fast, easy to understand (clearly illustrated) and to the point.

3.0 out of 5 stars As the title says, At a glance, December 30, 1999

Gerald Di Bernardo (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 At a Glance (At a Glance (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

I purchased this book as a user of FrontPage and chose it for its quick interface. I did not buy this book for deep content. This book lays out in short precise steps how to insert, create, manipulate or use most every feature within FP2000. That is great for a user who would like to simply apply something to there page to see how it works. Unfortunately, there is only cursory information here: barebones really. For somethings like formatting text, that is fine, but for advanced level users, we need more in depth explanation. I use this for prepping exercises for students, but not for content about the web or the components I might be using. As I said, the title does say at a glance!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book does NOT come in the FrontPage box, September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 At a Glance (At a Glance (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

Another review of this book claims that you don't need to buy the book because it comes for free with FrontPage. This isn't true -- unless you get some kind of special deal that bundles the book with the program!
