Summary: A great book for a beginning web site builder!
Review: Are you building your first web page? Or are you perhaps not the most experienced web designer? There are some huge FrontPage books out there that get into highly technical topics, but if all you want to do is learn FrontPage 2000 and build a web page you can be proud of, then I can't recommend this book highly enough. This book walks you through how to use all the tools to build web pages, hook up those pages into a web site, and send the site to your internet service provider. When you get done, you'll know how to build and maintain your site, and you won't have had to wade through 1000+ pages to get there. This book even shows you how to use the included graphics editors to dress up your pages, and how to use styles and templates to create a really snazzy look. The writing is clear and concise, and the wealth of screenshots makes it easy to follow the step-by-step. It might be a bit much to get through this book "in a weekend", but it won't take much longer than that, even if you're a beginner.

Summary: A Bad Book Even For Beginners! A Waste of Time & Money!
Review: I am a web designer and an instructor. I've been looking for something to introduce FrontPage to beginners. When I read this one, I was surprised by the overall poor quality of its instruction and numerous basic errors and omissions.I had to return the book because it really belongs to the trash bin. I would not advise anyone interested in learning FrontPage buy it. Any book published by Microsoft Press is better. I hope those friends of the authors who had given endorsements would have been ethical enough not to mislead readers.

Summary: Good starter book or manual for one time users
Review: I bought this book and the microsoft "step by step" manual. I thought the Microsoft book was a little more in depth. I think this is a good book for people that are going to do one web page and want to "follow a map" that will result in their creating a decent if not spectacular web page. I would rate this book as worth the money. You can with nothing but this book make a web page. If you are considering learning web design as a trade then thid book will be to "lite"

Summary: A Disappointment.
Review: I have read a number of books on FrontPage 2000. This book has to be rated as "Poor" if not "the Poorest." It is hasty, sketchy, confusing at places, poorly structured and leaves out quite a few important features of FrontPage even for beginners. The examples are narrow. The numerous "coffee breaks" are laughable. The CD-ROM included in the book is crude and really of little use. I would not recommend it even for a beginner.

Summary: A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: I produced a medium-size web site based on the manual that came with Front Page 2000. This book doesn't go much further than the manual. Even at that, it left me scratching my head due to lack of further explanation as to why I was told to do certain things. Very frustrating. Some explanations as to how to do something take you down the LONG road when a click of the right mouse button would have you there much sooner. If you're looking for a book that really gets under the hood of Front Page 2000, look elsewhere!

Summary: For Beginners Only
Review: I purchased this book because it was one of only 3 references in the store on Frontpage 2000. I thought to myself that at least the CD that comes with it should be worth the price. After working through the book during the process of doing a medium sized website, I found that many of my questions were unanswered. This a good book if you have never done anything with the web at all, and are not interested in more advanced manipulation of your site. A HUGE omission from this book is the topic of Cascading Style Sheets. For those who are considering this book and don't know, having knowledge of how to work with these is crucial, and this topic is completely left out. Other than that, it was an OK introduction to the most basic of topics. If all you want to do is know what the basics are to put up a home page, this book will do the job. If you want to really dig into intermediate to advanced level features using Frontpage, this book is not for you. I will now buy The Complete REference book hoping for more complete coverage of advanced topics. As for the CD, there isn't much on it that couldn't be had by surfing around the free sites on the web yourself, finding material that is actually relevent to your project.

Summary: Excellent book, especially in a time crunch
Review: I thought this book was easy to understand and most of all the title was absolutely correct. There were a couple of areas that were only covered lightly, but I'm sure it was because these are more complicated areas, and need more study. The pages that you can create are not just wimpy little pages either, they are graphic intensive, comprehensive pages that may be published with pride. If you are new to the web game, don't have much time, or simply don't want to buy one of those GIANT books, I highly recommend this book. This book delivers it's intensions.

Summary: This is a good book
Review: I worked the book. It took dilligent effort to get through it in a weekend. Now, I use it for a reference. I have a big book that says the same thing this one does. This one was more helpful in the area of publisizing the websight. This book is a really good buy. You can use it to start or advertise a small business on the web. Microsoft has a sight dedicated to advertising the great sights created with frontpage. That means that this book can help with very large sights also. When I bought it it had five stars. In my opinion it should still have all five. The author went out of her way to show her readers short cuts, I did not find the shift-enter one, however. Buy this book - Sell a web sight - buy a book - Come back to this one as your favorite. Mike

Summary: Doesn't go that far beyond the manual
Review: The book is easy to follow and gives you basic understanding of the program. It can be done in a weekend as the title promises but after that you'll probably want to do more and this book won't help you. For example there is almost no coverage of cascading style sheets, which really aren't all that hard to use and make managing sites much easier. If you think that your website will grow to anything beyond 5 or 10 pages you will definitely need something else.
