Learning FP 98 while debugging the book! Forget it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Microsoft Frontpage 98 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
I wish I checked the review of this book before spending money on it. I've barely started working throught the examples and have run into descrepencies between the listings shown in the book and the results from FP. As a beginning FP user, trying to debug the book while learning is way too frustrating. Unless this author provides a way of updating this book (how about his web site? I didn't find it there!!) Andy Shafran will become a black listed author! Don't buy books full of errors! No credibility!

Very well written technical book,
By Walt (San Diego, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Microsoft Frontpage 98 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
This author really knows how to write well! So often technical computer books read like a cookbook. This book is one of the best. It gives you a basic overview of FrontPage. The author knows how to discuss relevant material and leave out the unnecessary. His judgment here is excellent. It will have you up and using FrontPage right away. Plus you won't fall asleep trying to read it.

Macmillan Is To Blame,
By
This review is from: Teach Yourself Microsoft Frontpage 98 in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
If you go to the author's website ... he explainshow he wrotethis book in six weeks using an alpha version. Of course there wereerrors, but despite his repeated attempts to get the publisher to correct the mistakes Macmillan refused. They went on to publish this good but flawed book for four reprints, never fixing even one typo. For a while Mr. Shafran had a support site to help people with the mistakes, but has since taken it down as his relationship with Macmillan has soured. I suggest contacting Macmillan's Support Page ... for help or to complain about this product.
