1.0 out of 5 stars Very difficult to follow and understand, March 2, 2003

By A Customer

The publishers of computer books ought to realize that people buy the books to be able to learn a program without having to suffer through technical gobbledygook. This book is written very badly. It is poorly organized. The book's five authors, I get the impression, weren't speaking to one another when they wrote it. The same material is covered in some chapters.

I found it extremely difficult to get anything out of this book, because the material is expalined so badly. I do not recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've created dozens of web sites for clients using...., May 7, 2003

By	"danielleg" (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews

what I learned in this book. I don't know where the other reviewers of this book are coming from but as a professional designer there was no better book on the market for me. The entire team I work with has a copy of this book. I have two of the previous editions as well. They are all great.

In my opinion, this is the best book out there whether you are starting off with this program or have used the program before. This book, like the other Stanek texts, is filled with great information, page after page, so that no matter what you are looking for on FrontPage you can find answers. If you are already a high tech person or already have used the program with some success, this is definitely a good choice. If you are a beginner that learns fast, I think this is a good choice too. This book is a must have for any FrontPage user.

I really like the approach and the presentation. The teaching style is casual and if you follow the chapters you will get a FP site up and running quickly. My advice is to buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars 30-day trial version of Microsoft FrontPage 2002 included., April 13, 2002

You can build a fair web page manually and a better with Word 2002 (however I still use vi for the finer points). But to get a professional grade Site you need professional tools. Many of the tools are proprietary and not portable or supported by many hosts. However Microsoft FrontPage is not restricted to the toy world of Microsoft dominant desk tops masquerading as servers.

I found many useful explanations as well as practical examples in this book and on the CD. I found chapter 45 "Managing UNIX Web Sites" best to explain to someone new to the industry the advantages of having a Shell Account and being able to control your own security. This chapter is also a good lesson on portability. After using FrontPage to build the initial sight you can use the rich UNIX environment to go beyond. Chapter 46 "Using FrontPage with Unix Web Servers" helps show the proper file location conventions. It also covers adjustments that may be needed to accommodate the UNIX environment including case sensitivity, and the preferred use of 4 character extensions when used.

More than just the description of the tool, these books gives you the whole concept of a web site and how squeeze the most out of it using FrontPage 2000.
