Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Not quite a reference or a tutorial, the Official Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Book tries a little too hard to be all things to all people. Notwithstanding, whether you are an experienced Web designer or a novice, you'll find worthwhile information here covering the basics of Webs (both the Internet and intranets), wizards and templates, graphics, and advanced features like Java applets.
This book has plenty of helpful elements: ample screenshots, easily browsable chapters, and tips and sidebars for adding extra oomph to your site. Clear, well-organized, and nicely illustrated, the book carves out an intermediate niche for itself between the Step by Step and Running series. Though meatier than the former and chattier than the latter, most users will find their needs better served by one or both of the others.
Still, if you want an in-depth overview with instructions for most of the tasks you'll need to accomplish to get those pages up and running, the Official Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Book will work for you. --Rob Lightner

Don't waste your money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Official Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Book (Paperback)
I picked this book up thinking I would learn some "insights" into FrontPage 2000. I might have just as well read the help file that came with the program - at least it provided more detailed information. Like most Microsoft Press books it's light on information, full of screen shots. And several chapters contain inaccurate information such as about proxy servers and databases. I was so dissatisfied I asked for a refund.

Extremely poor, confusing book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Official Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Book (Paperback)
I had high hopes for this book, since it was relatively cheap and from Microsoft itself. But this has to be one of the poorest books on the subject. It wastes your time with useless info on how to open and close, and save files, which is exactly same as in any other MS program. And to learn any one thing, you have to often jump from chapter to chapter and connect the dots yourself. And it has very, very few on hand examples. Spend the money elsewhere.

Official Guide to FrontPage 2000,
By Thomas Park (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Official Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Book (Paperback)
This book is only good for building simple web pages like a personal web page. As for detailed information (like something useful) look elsewhere.
