Summary: For Beginners Only
Comment: I purchased this book because it was one of only 3 references in the store on Frontpage 2000. I thought to myself that at least the CD that comes with it should be worth the price.

After working through the book during the process of doing a medium sized website, I found that many of my questions were unanswered. This a good book if you have never done anything with the web at all, and are not interested in more advanced manipulation of your site.

A HUGE omission from this book is the topic of Cascading Style Sheets. For those who are considering this book and don't know, having knowledge of how to work with these is crucial, and this topic is completely left out.

Other than that, it was an OK introduction to the most basic of topics. If all you want to do is know what the basics are to put up a home page, this book will do the job. If you want to really dig into intermediate to advanced level features using Frontpage, this book is not for you. I will now buy The Complete REference book hoping for more complete coverage of advanced topics.

As for the CD, there isn't much on it that couldn't be had by surfing around the free sites on the web yourself, finding material that is actually relevent to your project.

Summary: This is a good book
Comment: I worked the book. It took dilligent effort to get through it in a weekend. Now, I use it for a reference. I have a big book that says the same thing this one does. This one was more helpful in the area of publisizing the websight.

This book is a really good buy. You can use it to start or advertise a small business on the web. Microsoft has a sight dedicated to advertising the great sights created with frontpage. That means that this book can help with very large sights also.

When I bought it it had five stars. In my opinion it should still have all five. The author went out of her way to show her readers short cuts, I did not find the shift-enter one, however.

Buy this book - Sell a web sight - buy a book - Come back to this one as your favorite.

Summary: A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
Comment: I produced a medium-size web site based on the manual that came with Front Page 2000. This book doesn't go much further than the manual. Even at that, it left me scratching my head due to lack of further explanation as to why I was told to do certain things. Very frustrating. Some explanations as to how to do something take you down the LONG road when a click of the right mouse button would have you there much sooner. If you're looking for a book that really gets under the hood of Front Page 2000, look elsewhere!
