5.0 out of 5 starsIf you need a practical guide to using Expression Web look no further
By The Usual Suspect on May 10, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I strongly recommend this book for these reasons:

- it is practical, it covers what you need to know to implement an effective personal or business web site

- it emphasizes standards like CSS and cross browser support while letting you know about gotchas with some browser implementations

- it covers important topics like accessibility and legal issues

- there are real world examples and exercises

- lots of screenshots

- the writing is clear and concise

- it covers how to design an engaging web site, not just how to use the tools that EW offers

- there is an accompanying course by the author to complement the book at starttoweb.com

- the author has extensive real world experience implementing web sites

- the author is a Microsoft MVP for Expression (see microsoft.com/mvp) and has helped for many years in the FrontPage and Expression communities; this means that she knows the common issues that people face designing web sites and many of the more obscure ones too

It is not a comprehensive reference book. It is a practical book for those who want to get started with EW quickly but not end up with a poorly designed web site that is not cross browser friendly nor standards compliant.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsNext edition needs new proof readers!
By C. Garrett on June 16, 2007
Format: Paperback
This book does a good job teaching newbies how to use Expression Web. If you go through the book slowly, following all examples, and doing all the training exercises, you'll learn how to work with Expression Web to build web pages. But what I also encountered with the book was so many typo's and errors, that it was sometimes difficult to know (for example) where there should be a space in a line of code and where there shouldn't or whether I should be using "box" or "border" which made the learning curve longer than it should have been. Since this book teaches a code language (html/xhtml) that must be written JUST SO, I find it difficult to accept that the authors would let so many errors slip by. Shame on their proof readers.

2.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing product
By Robert F. Williams on July 24, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Frankly, this is a disappointing product. It does have numerous typos, as other reviewers have noted (confusing a backslash with a "normal" slash on page 126, telling us to double-click an entry on page 117 when a single-click is required, are two typical examples). However, the biggest shortfalls are its lack of explaining the foundations clearly, and its important omissions. The book tends to "explain" by just showing us the underlying code, which only minimally helps us to understand. We are not told how to import an existing Web site, or how to handle frames, just two important topics not dealt with here. Jim Cheshire's "Using Microsoft Expression Web" is far better, both in its clarity of explanations, and in its completeness.

1.0 out of 5 starsBeyond Horrible
By Joseph Rudolph on July 4, 2007
Format: Paperback
Absolutely do not waste your money on this book. Now, this lady is supposed to teach you how to design websites with this book. Then when you try to down load the excercises on her website the links don't work, or some of the excercises aren't in the right file. Most of the links are dead and then the contact link doesn't work. And she is supposed to be a professional site designer. Please! This book sucks. This book does nothing but have you reading code which is fine if you want to write code. The purpose of expression web is to cut down on writing html. If you are going to think about buying this book do yourself a favor and just flush your money down the toilet it'll save you a headache. After having to skip chapter 3 and 5 because of non working excercise links and not wanting to waste time "writing" the exercises using the tedious code I gave up and will keep searching for a decent book on expression

5.0 out of 5 starsTruly, the basics and beyond of Expression Web
By Tina Clarke on May 19, 2007
Format: Paperback
Do you want to be organised? Do you want your web to work right from the get go?

Then put yourself safely in the hands of Cheryl Wise and let her guide you through the mire of making a website.

The author starts off her book by gently explaining how to get to grips with making a start, for anyone who has ever attempted for the first time to make a site they will appreciate the firm guidance the author gives throughout this book.

Weather you have a personal or a business site, this book holds your hand and teaches you step by step how to go about making the site, building it up and maintaining it, all with logical calm steps.

There is nothing worse in a book than not understanding how to proceed to the next step and this Expression Web book sweeps all the worry away. I usually ignore the first part of a book that explains how to get started (you have too, don't deny it :) as boring, but this book gives you an exciting hold on your dreams of creating exactly what you want, and the intro should not be missed. I can be unorganised as the next person and this book keeps one in step so that the site builds logically and helps one understand what one should be doing next, you can't build a house from the roof down, and the same applies to a site.

Cheryl gives you little insights and tips that only someone who knows her product inside out can give you, well worth the price for that alone.

Other reviews here have covered what chapters are available so I won't go over that again, but suffice to say, setting up expression web is the most important chapter and one not to be missed.Read more ›
