Create Frontpage 2000 Web Pages in a Weekend

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

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"

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.

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.

When I bought the software for Frontpage 2000 I knew NOTHING about web site design, and certainly nothing about Frontpage. When I bought the program, I also bought one of those 1100 page exhaustive (so I thought) tombs about how to use the program. I got about three chapters into the big book and decided that I didn't know what the heck they were talking about. Now, I'm no dummy. I'm pretty good at following directions, but I just didn't get it. So I went back to the bookstore and bought "Frontpage 2000 in a Weekend". I knew I was in safe waters after the first chapter. Wagner and Callihan do an excellent job of making the whole process of site design simple and painless. By simply following their tutorials I learned everything I needed to know to get amazing results ouf of the program. And just in a weekend (just as promised). As I continue to work in Frontpage, I occasionally come across a question I can't answer. I usually turn to the 1100 page giant first (I guess because it just LOOKS like it ought to have all the answers). But many times the solution they present is covered just as well or better in the Weekend book. My reccomendation: If you're just getting started wiht Frontpage, save the $45.00 on the big books and pluk down a quarter on "Weekend". It's money worth spent.
