Summary: Great book
Review: Everything in this book is explained through a colorful visual image, meaning that you don't have to waste time trying to find the xxx command somewhere on the interface. You don't even have to be at a terminal to learn the software -- read the book, then sit down at a machine and you'll be up and running.

Summary: FP2K is a powerful program but sometimes a little confusing.
Review: Hey, I think it's great that you've decided to learn FrontPage 2000. Everybody should have a web site. Of course, as in life, there is good news and bad news. The good: FrontPage is a simple, very powerful word-processor like program. The bad: It's a little confusing sometimes.If you are new to FrontPage, this book will let you hit the ground running. Each step includes a screen shot that shows you where to click (helpful diagrams also point out where to kick the computer when it acts strangely). If you want a book that covers every possible feature, look elsewhere. How to Use FrontPage 2000 is a book about creating your web site quickly and with as few missteps as possible And, if you don't like the book, I'll personally come to your house and build your website for you. Yes, I'll come to your house. Well, no I won't really come to your house. I won't need to. The book is that good. Really.

Summary: Much easier to use than a typical reference guide!
Review: I'm so impressed with this book I intend to purchase more in the series. While it doesn't have the depth of a 400 page reference guide, I'm sure most people will be much happier with the results from it. By being able to see, in colour, exactly what you're supposed to be doing, you'll learn things much faster. The book even shows pictures of the menus, and which option you need to choose in order to proceed with the desired function. I also liked the way the book picked the topics most people would want to understand better about Frontpage. Most people don't want to sell product and track inventory from their personal website. This book focuses on what beginners want to be able to do. For example, it shows you how to create a home page, how to make navigation buttons appear on top and different navigation buttons appear on the left of your page, and how to use photos and other objects in your web page. It also helps you understand the built-in wizards, and how you can use them to create web pages simply and quickly. Highly recommended!

Summary: Three stars doesn't mean its bad, just average!
Review: This book has both strengths and weaknesses. It is very good in my opinion in giving you an overview of how to create nice looking web pages in Frontpage 2000. The book is laid out in a logical fashion with easy to read text and lots of illustrations. Its disadvantages are that it only really gives you the basics of creating web pages. It is limited in that it shows you only how to work with the pull-down menus in the program itself. For more advanced stuff you will have to go to Matthew and Poulsen's FRONTPAGE 2000: THE COMPLETE REFERENCE. Its an average book as I said. Got me generating web pages in an afternoon.

Summary: Worth Buying; A Big Help
Review: This book was a big help to me in creating my own art website. I was combining lots of visuals plus accompanying text, all on a black cut silk velvet background of my own. Thus, I did not use one of the program's theme websites. I was being fairly ambitious in what I was trying to set up and this book got me most of the way there. The main reason I'm not giving it a 5 though is I still needed to call in my computer friend to help me when I still did not have a website which totally lined up right. She had to get the spacing worked out and get rid of the horizontal bar for me. I will admit, however, that computer knowledge also does not come easily to me. If you are looking for a book that can absolutely guarantee you will be able to build a website from its pages, this book is not it. However, I doubt any other book is it either as there are a number of bugs in the Front Page program itself that my friend had to fix for me that no book would have addressed. My friend didn't berate me for buying this book; she berated me for buying Front Page! My husband bought 2 other books for me from Microsoft directly on Front Page and they were not near the help this book was. If you've decided on using Front Page as your program, I'd go ahead and get this book. You're probably not going to do better.
