Summary: Good support from the authors
Comment: I've read some the reviews here and on other books - "FP2000 Complete Reference" and "Using FP2000 SE" AND "Frontpage 2000 Developer's Guide"
I have "FP98 Unleashed" and "Using FP2000 SE"
I tend to buy from shops, not online as I like to thumb the pages before I buy. I bought FP2000 first, because I spotted a short section on Design Time Controls and Wizards.
I bought the book even though I am familiar with the IDG series - "BackOffice Small Business Server", "Access". Generally, the authoring briefs of these books is not my preference. Authors seem to be forced into very quick coverage of everything but insufficient pause to inform in detail. However, they suit a particular niche where you already know enough and just want to be informed of what you may have missed.
On the other hand, the "Unleashed" series is detailed but often so boring and printed in small boring type, they're the other side of undesirable.
So I bought this book knowing what it is and I am not disappointed.
I work occassionally with Visual Interdev, ASP and ADO/Database connectivity. My slant is, well, people who want more info on database connectivity should look for a different book on such stuff - an Intro/Intermediate book on FP is NOT the place to go into ASP.
The FP product itself is purposely niched - it is for users who have not made any website and want a leg up. Therefore inadequacies in Database Connectivity are purposely left so. It's like MS Publisher vs MS Word. If you want to do serious ASP, go for Visual Interdev / ASP / ADO products.
Bottom Line:
I would like all authors and publishers on FP to think "outside the box". Create three FP books at a third of the price of a full FP book. This gives us more experienced users the choice of not wasting money on 2/3 of the book unused. The books should be: a. FP Intro (covers brief info on HTML etc...) b. FP Intermediate (covers more details on using the Wizards and Webbots and DHTML tricks) c. FP Advanced/Admin (covers details on developing components for FP, automating FP with VBA, detailed info on admin of IIS/PWS)

Summary: Buy it. You won't regret it.
Comment: If you're brand new to web page authoring like myself, the "Bible" is an excellent guide. I bought it on the strength of a review here at Amazon.... Everything "ep" wrote on that review is true. The Quick Start Book is exactly what it is - a quick start, and it's good. It helped me quickly understand the basics of FrontPage 2000.
Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Bible by Edelbrock and Karlin is an excellent supplement to an excellent software. It's not perfect, like "ep" pointed out, but I'm building a departmental intranet using only this book and the program's user help index.
Rating: 4
Summary: Don't ever touch the software
Comment: This book is good, but the problem lies in the application software itself. Frontpage is the worst ever happens to me. If I'd known Dreamweaver, I'd never had spent 2 weeks learning the Frontpage. You'd love the bible series if you're a beginner, but if you want something more advanced, then look else where.
