In-depth, very helpful [Posted on 2001-07-19]
Showed me things about Frontpage I never knew, and got me cranking out web pages they way I finally wanted them to look. I won't give it 5 stars because the book got wordy at times and rambled on a bit on some topics, but overall you'll learn a great deal.

Tough book to rate [Posted on 2001-07-27]
If you are truly just buying it to learn to use FP, I suppose the book deserves more than a 1. If you got conned into thinking that you might learn even one iota of ASP or Database Connectivity from these two HORRIBLE chapters, you would give it less than a one. As for the FP stuff, it does cover almost all the features, but seldom gets into the nitty gritty, so after you learn FP from a surface point of view, this book is practically useless. This is hardly a good reference book.

Best Available [Posted on 2001-08-19]
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.

Poorly produced volume [Posted on 2002-03-04]
This book appears to be fairly comprehensive and easy to understand. Unfortunately, the publisher seems to have cut corners on the binding. I have tried two different copies and with each copy pages started falling out after very little use. If you are looking for a reference book, be aware that this Osborne publication is likely to fall apart before you have finished your first web site.

Dealing with Amazon Digital Books is like dealing with a brick wall!
