5.0 out of 5 stars
The show-how is always better than the tell-all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Unleashed, w. CD-ROM (Paperback)
We have purchased a couple of other FP2000 books (most notably the ones from Microsoft Press) and none compare to FP2000 Unleashed. Rather than just discussing each feature in the software (as Microsoft Press' book does), FP2000 Unleashed walks the reader through hard-to-grasp concepts like ASP programming and database connectivity. Our knowledge in terms of these subjects is limited, but FP2000 Unleashed has helped immensely in showing us how to set up an online database that connects using ODBC technolgy and active server pages (which was all Greek to us before we received the FP2000 Unleashed book). The important thing to know about this book: It walks the reader through the processes. It doesn't waste time explaning what every little nook and cranny does. It simply lets the reader figure that out by walking the reader through many difficult tasks. Bravo, Unleashed!

Complete, Yet Shallow...?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Unleashed, w. CD-ROM (Paperback)
This is the second "Unleashed" Book that I have purchased, and I find them useful, but choppy. The chapters have different authors, and the continuity suffers from this treatment.Each chapter gives a complete overview of the subject it covers. The key phrase here is "complete overview", as the in-depth detail that many of the new features of FP 2000 has over its predecessors is not there. This is a good overview of FP 2000 for the intermediate user who has used other versions of FP. I would recommend that beginners or advanced users look elsewhere. If you are looking for detailed descriptions or examples of FP 2000's new features, look elsewhere. If you plan on using database integration, ASP, DHTML or CSS and you buy this book -- budget to buy at least one more book to cover these advanced features. In sum, I feel this is a good book for a book report about FP 2000 for a high school class; as a "hands-on" guide for real users, this book is not it.

Excellent choice for serious FP users,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Unleashed, w. CD-ROM (Paperback)
I've been using FP for a while and needed something beyond the basic step by step. This book gives you the goods if your're serious about FrontPage.I especially like the sections on working with scripts, database stuff, and ASP. It's hard to find good info on these in FP books that talk to newbies.
