MS Front Page

2008-09-07
Arrived on time and in perfect shape. I like the way this book is written. It not only gives valuable info on Front Page, but touches on a number of basics that apply to any website and that are simply assumed by most other books. I appreciate that. I would recommend this book if you aren't even using Front Page, if you want to learn more about websites in general.

Superb

An excellent book to start learning Frontpage. The layout and style are very clear and the practice examples lead you through the steps in a logical manner.

Don't buy - no longer a supported program.

2007-02-23
I purchased this book and the software a year ago. I found out a few months ago that Microsoft is no longer supporting this software and has come out with a new program. Of course microsoft did not notify any registered users of this. I am now out the money for the software and the book. Microsoft instead of changing this program so that extensions are no longer used, came out with a brand new program which cost $299-.

I never got it

I never got it. The FrontPage 2003 that I ordered in September 2006 never arrived.
I sent you a message about it, and apparently you have on your records that I re-ordered it.
In fact, you supposedly sent a replacement copy. In fact, you sent a 2nd FrontPage Step by Step
instruction book, which I had also ordered in September and received at that time. So, I have
2 instruction books, no software, I've stopped payment on my Visa for this purchase, and I've given up.
I will likely NEVER order from Amazon.com again.

Hard Steps

The book did not follow what appeared on the screen. So difficult to follow that we just gave it up and tried another book.
Some of it was useful for reference, but step by step no way!

Microsoft is great with software but not with documentation

FRONTPAGE 2003 STEP BY STEP

3 books on learning FrontPage 2003

2005-12-31
I actually bought 3 books: Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Step-by-Step, Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Inside-Out, and Que Special Edition Using FrontPage 2003.

Step-by-step is a very useful starting point, but you'll soon run out of this book. By far, the best of the 3 is Que's Using FrontPage 2003 - it is excellent! FrontPage 2003 Inside-Out is good IF you're interested in Active Server Pages.

But all in all - if you want to buy just one I recommend Que Special Edition Using FrontPage 2003. The format lets you learn by solving problems that you run into. For example, you want find out about Banners, the book not only answers your questions but gives you the background and advise on using the feature. And the author is very candid about suggesting when to use and NOT use a particular feature. The authors obviously have used the product for real-world web sites and really wanted to share their experiences and knowledge.

Provides Only a Spefic Example Included on The CD

2005-11-28
Does not provide directions for "Step-by-Step" creation of your own original web site. It continously refers to the example on the included CD so you recreate that website.

Poorly written and confusing. Do not waste your money if you are trying to build a custom website.

OK...but it needs something more

2005-09-17
I knew nothing about FrontPage 2003 before going through this book and now I think I know about 20% of what I need to know. Even having 28 years of experience in mainframe and PC programming experience, I am still having a problem getting my head around creating web sites. I could easily follow the exercises in this book but all I was doing is following the exercises. When I went back to try one again, I found out that I had saved the completed exercises over those provided on the CD. I had to uninstall and then re-install the CD to have the ability to re-work the exercises.

The index is seriously lacking in content. I tried to create my own web site, rather than use the ficticious ones used in the exercises, and I came up short when I tried to add links to my personal pages. I looked to the index for help and couldn't find any.

In one of the exercises I was supposed to add some photos to a web page. When I opened the folder that was supposed to contain the photos, it was empty!

All in all, the book is OK...but I will need a more in-depth book to help me complete the creation of my personal web page for my small business.

Not a Reference for Building Your Own Site

2005-09-14
I bought this book to help me build my own web page. I learned how to follow their directions to build a fictional webpage. When it came time to build my own, however, I was at a loss. The exercises were easy to follow, but if your information or needs are different this book is really not of much help. I do have a nice website for their fictional company... now I need to purchase another book to build a website for my own.
