Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
FrontPage 98 Unleashed is a comprehensive reference guide to Microsoft's popular Web publishing package. As with other editions in this series, the book possesses the scope of a reference book and the clear and easy-to-read manner of a tutorial. The smaller sections in each chapter explain functions and features in a step-by-step fashion; these sections combine to form tabbed areas for quick and easy reference. Early chapters cover basics such as FrontPage Explorer and single page creation and later sections tackle advanced topics such as server administration and database integration. Naturally, the book includes all of the latest features of FrontPage 98: FrontPage Themes, the Table Drawing Tools, the navigation view, navigation bars, cascading style sheets, hover buttons, and the Channel Definition Format (CDF) Channel Wizard, which allows you to create your own channels for the Internet Explorer 4 Active Desktop. FrontPage 98 Unleashed is a worthy companion for FrontPage 98 users of all levels.

The ONLY FrontPage book that covers it all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 98 Unleashed (Unleashed) (Paperback)
1200 pages of excellent information! When I compared this book to others I was appalled at the enormous disparity. FrontPage 98 Unleashed was the only FrontPage book that actually covered all features and tools included with FrontPage 98. FrontPage 98 Unleashed covers every feature of the FrontPage Explorer and Editor. These are the main tools for publishing and the text was excellent. I didn't find any errors and the book was obviously written with the final release of FrontPage 98. Some of the other books I checked had screens that didn't match anything to what my computer showed. This wasn't the case with FrontPage 98 Unleashed. FrontPage 98 Unleashed has awesome coverage of Image Composer. There's like 8 massive chapters on graphics! I saw an entire book on Image Composer that didn't cover as much or as well. The book also covers Microsoft GIF Animator and it was the only book I checked that did so. The GIF Animator is included with FrontPage 98 and it is userful. You know this book is the only tell all and be all for FrontPage 98 when you get to the last 10 chapters. These chapters have in depth of using FrontPage with Web servers and advanced development. FrontPage 98 Unleashed was the only book to cover the FrontPage Server Extension Resource Kit in complete detail. You'll find lots of great details for remote administration, using server extensions with other types of servers. The book also covers the FrontPage Developer's Kit in complete detail and again was the only FrontPage book I looked at to do so! With so much good things to say about FrontPage 98 Unleashed it is no wonder the book was recommened to me by the Microsoft help desk. I am very happy. Buy it you won't be disappointed.

A reader from UK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 98 Unleashed (Unleashed) (Paperback)
I dont quite understand what all the fuss is over this author Stanek. His books are positively lacking any in depth understanding. I am only making this criticism as I have a collection of 30 internet related books. His books appeal to more 'readers' than 'doers' ie. people who think that by reading they have learnt the material. However for serious users and developers beware! It is clear that this book is written by operating the features found in the package and then writing about it rather than doing anything useful with it. Every time I hit across a problem and reference the book, I only find superficial information.

The best FP98 book on the market,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft FrontPage 98 Unleashed (Unleashed) (Paperback)
After struggling for six months with Que's "Special Edition Using FP98" I finally tried a new book. "Unleashed" is far better. I've learned more about how FP "thinks" in one week with this book than months of "Special Edition Using." "Unleashed" has detailed yet concise information and covers real-world issues. Compared to this book, the Que title is a quick reference card with hundreds of pages of semi-related filler. "Unleashed" is the one to get.
