E-Commerce Essentials with Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002

Summary: A better name for this book is: Everything about bCentral
Review: DO NOT purchase this book if you are like me and looking for a honest and open step-by-step books to create or better understand components of an e-commerce site built using FP2002. As I look around my room I can see dozens (well over 100) computer books, many of which I received from Amazon because they are the best. Not one of them is anywhere as close to bad as this one is! It is COMPLETELY written for someone setting up a bCentral site (which is not for free and is EXTREMELY limited to say the least). I have other books from Microsoft Press but this one should of been for free because it is a sales promotion device, NOT a ecommerce instruction books as they suggest with their hype. For situations like this it would be nice if Amazon would look into outright con's such as this and stop it.

Summary: Self promotion for Microsoft's bCentral
Review: This book mostly deals with the different services offered through Microsoft's very own bCentral e-commerce solution web site. It is best used by die-hard Microsoft fans who intend on utilizing the bCentral system.
