Description:
Microsoft FrontPage 2000 has become a key component of most Web developers' business strategies as both a prototyping and rapid development tool. A part of Osborne's Professional Developer's Library series, FrontPage 2000 Developer's Guide aims to show site designers how to squeeze every ounce out of this program. Author Mike Jennett takes the reader through the latest augmentations to FrontPage, illustrating how to use the program's built-in features for impressive effects and techniques. While he uses many step-by-step examples in his presentation, the book is predominately an exposition of FrontPage's capabilities and not a solution-oriented title. Jennett shows how to create sophisticated layouts (including forms) and how to deploy database-oriented Web sites based on Active Server Pages (ASPs). He also introduces all of the various scripting capabilities, including how to use the VBA Scripting Engine to tweak the development environment itself. Many of the techniques presented in this tutorial are distinctly Microsoft-specific, and the author's enthusiasm for the "Microsoft way" is very apparent. Nevertheless, this title is perfect for developers who've lost touch with recent FrontPage developments or those learning the product for the first time. --Stephen W. Plain Topics covered: Content layout, themes and styles, FrontPage Active Elements, database integration, Active Server Pages, dynamic HTML, VBA, Microsoft Personal Web Server, and FrontPage Server Extensions.
