 You've got to be kidding. November 8, 2006
This is one of the worst-formatted, hardest-to-use books I know -- and I'm very familiar with technical and instructional writing. It might be that this book includes "how to do everything," but finding it is a nightmare. The author seems intent on trying to say everything at once.
The FrontPage 2000 Version May 21, 2005

I can't believe I bought this, one of the worst purchases I've ever made. Far from being a step-by-step how to actually set up a web site, it's filled with "if you want to do this, then do this, or if you want to do that, then do that." Perhaps I'm more comfortable with programming books that actually step you through a series of ever-increasingly-complex projects in order to teach you how to use the languange. This book reads more like a reference book for those who already know FrontPage, or a page-by-page description of what the controls will do rather than why I would want to use the control in the first place. IMO, it's hardly a beginner's book, and not worth the deeply discounted price it's selling for.
 Hey Ma, It Worked! March 18, 2005

Yes, I used this well-illustrated and easily understandable book and designed a web site in one (long) weekend. The structure is in four parts ascending from the general to the detail, from easy to difficult. The examples are EXACTLY like the screen, unlike other guides in which there were variations.
I researched other support groups and found some written in Microsoftese, a language that few understand. Others had few illustrations or assumed you knew more than you did or were unorganized. This one, recommended by a friend, was perfect. In three minutes I displayed a web page (with the words "THIS IS A TEST" in bright red) using my browser, Netscape. From there, it was downhill. You can stay simple or get complex. You might also want to invest in an HTML book if you wish to modify the code and go further. All in all, a great experience.
