Special Edition Using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 [With *]

This book is good for Front Page 2000. If you are familiar with FrontPage 2000 then and then only read this book. Some of the topics are discussed at great lenght and some of the topics are just covered in a few paragraphs. I suggest you to first try Front Page 2000 and then try to find solutions from this book. It works well then reading this book completely. Treat this book as referance only. If the book had beed with many examples, surtainly it whould have helped lot of people. This book also discuss things related Servers , Java , Active X , Java Scripts and Database. I have found this book helpful to find even lesser known features of FrontPage. Again I suggest this book only if you are familiar with Front Page 2000. [email protected]

Huge book and it took me 15 weeks at 3 chapters a week to go through BUT, it was worth it. Nothing was left undiscovered. I built a bunch of webs for clients along the way and the studying was worth it. I especially appreciated the second half of the book with its indepth chapters on all of the not so simple web page topics such as databases, Office 2000 integration and Intranets. Frontpage is revealed as a real corporate workhorse. I'm doing QUE Access 2000 now. Ugh, wish me luck.

I'm passionate about FrontPage 2000 so I have checked out every FP 2000 book I can find. I bought this book (my fourth FP 2000 book) after reading the last couple of chapters in the bookstore.I find this book a very good reference to FrontPage 2000. Coverage is complete (or near-complete) and it offers great chapters on IIS and web planning. The writing is generally good, but the large volume (1200 pages) and heavy weight are due in part to "wordiness" of some chapters. The enclosed CD-ROM has a good collection of software, but alas, the best is not free, just demos.Database connectivity is covered, but not as well as "FrontPage 2000: The Complete Reference", which remains my favorite FP 2000 book, but the chapters on Office 2000 and FrontPage 2000 are welcome.While you can't go wrong with this book, getting "the complete reference" may give you just as much information on FP 2000 while helping save trees.

I went to the local Barnes & Noble and checked out all the books on FP 2000. This one goes into greater depth, has 3-4 times the number of pages (1200+) and is cheaper than most the others. If it hadn't wasted my time with a worthless CD, I would have given it 5 stars. The CD had 35 themes (30 of which had no installer), some cheesy demoware and a useless PDF version of the book.
