Amazon.com Review
If you haven't created a Web site before, you'll probably want to use a Web authoring tool like Microsoft FrontPage 2000. Yet even with a novice-friendly tool like FrontPage 2000, you'll need some help. Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Step by Step will tutor you through many of FrontPage 2000's components and options, allowing you to build your site without actually having to learn HTML. Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Step by Step walks you through the site design process. You quickly learn how to create new Web sites and make them viewable on the Web with or without FrontPage Server extensions. Besides the basics of Web page creation, the book also covers the application of FrontPage themes to a site, using cascading style sheets, incorporating FrontPage components such as a marquee, a hit counter, page banner, and table of contents. The forms and frames tools are covered in exceptional detail. The book's strength lies in the high level of interactivity the text plays with the accompanying CD-ROM. Each lesson in the book (each chapter comprises a lesson) has one or more related instructional files on the CD-ROM. To bring a story line to the tutorial, the book places you in the position of a Web developer designing for a number of clients. The files on the CD-ROM allow you to jump into a project and work with the featured tools without having to create all of the pages required at that point in the project. If you are upgrading from FrontPage 98, the book includes a very helpful troubleshooting guide outlining upgrade issues. If you are a more experienced Web site developer, you might want to consider the Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Bible as an alternative source of information. --Rob Frankland

• If You Want To Be A Frontpage Expert, Do Not Buy This Book.
23 October, 2001
I purchased this book because this was made by Microsoft Press, hoping that this book has a complete information on using FrontPage 2000. However, upon completion of reading and following procedures on every single page in 2 days, I found that it only covers certain basic features and does not cover any of the advanced features. (e.g. editing frames, creating search menus, using data base, displaying and replying to comments, etc.) I have to buy another book on FrontPage and wasted money and time on this book. If you want to be a FrontPage expert, do not buy this book, but buy the book with more detailed explanation on advanced features. (Running FrontPage 2000 from Microsoft or FrontPage 2000 Bible from IDG are good choices.)

• Just The Book For A Newbie
01 April, 2001
Learn by doing. This book leads you through a series of exercises and reviews which teach you the basics of FrontPage 2000. There are some missing areas (buttons has been mentioned), but for a beginner the book can give you the confidence to construct a moderately sophisticated web site.I read through the book and completed the exercises within a weekend. The exercises use files included on the accompanying CD-ROM as starting points, and lead you through modifications and enhancements. There are some AVI files on the CD showing some of the techniques in video.A big plus, if you are on the fence about using FrontPage 2000, is that there is a 45-day demo of this program on the CD. During the demo period you may use the unrestricted program to determine whether you want to buy your own version.As has been stated, you will probably have to buy a more advanced book if you will be doing heavy programming, but for beginners, this is the one to get.

• You Will Be Designing Webs In Two Days.....
19 July, 2001
Step by Step is exactly the correct title. This book is great for the person who buys software and wants to start using it right away without having to read a 4000 page novel. I was able to cover 6 lessons in two days (approximately 10 hours). To move this quickly, you should have a good foundation of Windows. Once you have completed all 10 lessons, then you can move on to the advanced books. This book covers planning, hyperlinks, adding style, tables, sound, images and video, creating forms, using frames and finally publishing and managing the web after it is published. Excellent.

• Only For Absolute Beginners
29 April, 2003
Although the book description says it is for beginning to advanced users, this books is really only for absolute beginners to web publishing and to Windows apps as well.This book is really just a collection of examples (hence the step-by-step) to walk you through. However, the text is probably 3 times longer than it needs to be. The book repeats very simple steps (do you really need to show the user how to go to File...Save in every single example?) in all the examples and also pointless steps. For example, many of the examples have the same two or three steps to open the file (click on open, highlight a file, press OK). These steps could be combined into one in future examples.Further proof is that there is a whole Appendix on an intro to Windows. For example, how to click with a mouse, open and close windows, etc.Overall this book should probably be called Frontpage for Dummies. If you are an absolute beginner to Windows applications and web publishing, this book would be good for you to get going quickly with Frontpage. However, if you are already comfortable with Windows applications or you have done any sort of web design, this book is simply too beginner.I'm giving it 2 stars only because it would be good for absolute beginner. However, it is misleading to say it is from beginner to advanced. If the book clearly stated it was only for beginners or was called something like Frontpage for Dummies, I would rate it higher.
