This is a great book, as are all books written by QUE, I use it every day while mastering the finer points of web design and embedding 'objects' with Microsoft Frontpage 2000.

One of the best features of this book is the chapters teaching how to work with databases using Frontpage 2000.

"One of the most important features of web developement is Databasing!"

This book covers it all. Setting up forms to update databases, creating ASP, active server pages, and more.

Frontpage has a bad rep, in the web developement industry, well not any more, many Designers now hype Frontpage2000, in this book you will find out all there is to know about Frontpage2000 and why it is a tool of choice for serious web masters.

I own several books by 'Que' publishing. I read several pages everyday. The CD has some great demos. I must have for all web masters/designers. Five Stars and by far the best written book on using Frontpage2000........A winner!

The Using Front Page 2000 comes with some free software, which they make a big deal about, and it is only shareware or trial programs, nothing you cannot easily find online.
The book is huge and heavy, and did not address several of the advanced areas I was looking for, and I thought there was a lot of writing and not a lot of meat. Too much verbose talk and not enough examples.
Also after reviewing the book, I have sent it back, and I have decided to move away from Front Page, and move to Dreamweaver. I have tried their trial program, and the program can do so much more, and is not dependant on MS extentions.
Overall I was not happy with the book, I have seen a much better presentation of information, easier to read, formatting, etc.
There was some good information in the book, but I think I just am more disillusioned with Front Page overall as it has become limiting to what I want to do with design.

I needed something to get me up and running with FP2000 and to initiate my wife into developing web content and pages. I have always been very satisfied with QuE books because they are so well organized, comprehensive, and have such a good index (something that all too many other books fail to do well at all). This Que offering was not an exception and my wife is developing the website for a school to which she consults with this as her only refernece tool. I have recommended Que books to lots of folks and never had a complaint.

This book is excellent. I red this book during a Web Designer Friend's visit to India, as this book is not available in India. Book has many things to offer. I cound not complete entire book but whatever I wanted to learn, I read thos topics first. I must say this book is excellent. Do not belive anybody who says Front Page is not good designing too. It is One of the Best tool for web designing. So called PROGRAMMER and DEVELOPERS do not want to make you design web site so easily with Front Page!!!!!!!!!!! hasitdave@yahoo.com
