Summary: Absolute Must Have
Review: Although FrontPage comes with a very good tutorial, the tutorial alone will not be enough to teach you much past using shared borders and themes and how to add links. This book is definitely the next step - perfect for someone who wants to build more than just the generic homepage with a few graphics and links. This book touches on effective design, spends considerable time on how to use Microsoft Image Composer to make your own graphics and breezes through using Microsoft PhotoDraw to make buttons and bars. It covers how to design with and use tables and frames and how to tie a database to your web site. And this is just the beginning. From what I can tell so far, it also gives me enough information to help me make intelligent decisions about what I need out of a web server and other higher level functions. It even covers multiple ways to perform the same functions like adding advertising and contrasts the pros and cons. In the example of adding advertising, it shows you how to use the ASP Ad Rotator Component and then how to use the built in FrontPage Banner Ad Manager to do the same thing. It even goes into Java a little and tells you where you can download toolkits to build your own applets. It even tells you how to create your own RealAudio Files and discusses building e-commerce sites. This is possibly one of the best resource books I have ever purchased and highly recommend this to anyone who needs to find answers quickly.

Summary: Must-have FP reference
Review: Bought this book after talking to the first reviewer. This is indeed an excellent book, because it tells you everything about FrontPage. Information is complete and precise, no space is wasted. I think it's a "must-have" book if you use frontpage. The price could be lower...

Summary: Complete is an understatement
Review: Complete is an understatement for this book. Not only will it teach you how to use MIcrosoft Frontpage2000, it will give a quick introduction to HTML and XML. Only two real complaints with this book. Chapter 1 seems a hodepodge of things about the program and web pages in general; even as an introduction it is a mess. The index seems almost too concise and all too often I find myself leafing through chapters trying to find the answer I need.

Summary: "Front Page 2000", WHAT A BOOK!
Review: Front Page 2000 The Complete Reference, is not just a reference book. I am starting to build up my domain name Compufly.com So I decided to get the book. The first day I read 287 pages of it (very VERY unlike me) I am computer literate person with the most basic skills of web publishing and this book is really going to do a lot for me. Everything that I could ever question about FP2000 is in here. I highly reccomend this book.

Summary: FrontPage 2000: The Almost Complete Reference
Review: FrontPage 2000: The Complete Reference is one of the better FrontPage book I have come across, the reason for an average rating is that the book has holes with in it. It presumes that everything is configured correctly, Personal Web Server, Server Extensions, etc If the book covered possible solutions to common problems it would be better. The only other gripe I had way the use of the words "relatively simple process" when it was not.

Summary: One of the best books for FrontPage 2000
Review: I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend and I must say that in most respects he was right. I have used this book for about six months and I have to say that it has served me well all this time. The book does a great job at explaining clearly and concisely all the steps and other related information about FrontPage. I would not only recommend this book for beginners but also for advanced user that needs in-depth information to create advanced web sites in FrontPage. It has been a very useful resource that I would recommend for anyone that is looking a reference book for Microsoft FrontPage.

Summary: Best Available
Review: I couldn't give this book a 5 because I found some things missing, and describing almost everything from a personal web server standpoint isn't helpful to people with disk based Webs. I do, however, consider it to be the best one that I've read, and I've been through quite a few. The information that they provided on Meta tags and site submission I could not find in any other FrontPage book, only in books dealing entirely with HTML. I think this info alone makes it worth buying, especially for a novice. For the more advanced people, the Java and related info was very good. This book, along with Running FrontPage 2000, and the Getting Started manual that comes with FrontPage should be about all you need.
