Summary: For the Beginner, Making a Web Page
Comment: I am a rank neophyte at making and publishing web sites. I bought three books: 1. Quick Course in Microsoft Front Page 2000, Online Press. 2. The Complete Reference, Front Page 2000, Matthews and Poulsen. 3. Teach yourself Front Page 2000 Visually, by MaranGraphics. The authors of the first two books made unwarranted assumptions about the level of my expertise, used words not in my vocabulary, talked about things I could not find. I was considering giving up, when I started studying "Teach Yourself FrontPage 2000 Visually". Whenever the author used a term not in my vocabulary, she defined it in language I could understand. When she told me to click something, there was a red line leading my eye straight to the thing I was supposed to click. In spite of the precarious state of my expertise, I am now the proud author of a published web site, and beginning to explore some of the fine points described in the first two books. This is THE book for a beginner.

Summary: Great for Neophyte and Web-Wizard Wannabe Alike
Comment: I have been using FrontPage 2000 for a couple of years now and have figured out some of the quirks and wiggles on my own. I sure wish I would have owned this book from the get-go. Now that I do have it, I am able to better perform my FrontPage tasks. The samples and examples are very crisp and clear, presented in color and are perfect for the visual learner. While FrontPage probably isn't the choice for those Super-Duper Web designers who wanna make a zillion (ya, right...wake up in the New Millennium!!), FrontPage 2000 has done all right by me. "Teach Yourself Visually..." is just the ticket for the homebody web page designer in all of us.

Summary: Very, Very, Very Basic
Comment: I bought this based on the rating and the reviews. I wish I hadn't. While it is not a bad book, it is so basic that anyone who has ventured into beginning web page development will not benefit from this.
There are large sections on how to use the program's dictionary, or how to cut and paste words, how to use the mouse, how to change the font, etc, etc.
The whole concept is a bit of an oxymoron. It takes a very simple "Dummies"-like approach but instructs primarily via pictures rather than text. However, by the time someone gets to where they actually want to have a web page, are savvy enough to know that their ISP allots them web space, or even knows what an "ISP" is, and knows that Frontpage is a web development tool, they don't need to be taken step by step through how to add a column to a table. Sheesh!
If you just turned on your computer for the very first time yesterday, and you want to learn the basics of web page authoring today before you take on SQL database managment tomorrow, then by all means buy this book. But if you have average computer skills and you have basic word processing familiarity but you just don't find Frontpage intuitive and want to know how to use the program, buy something else.
