Running Microsoft Frontpage 98

Summary: Good for beginners, superb reference, bad at deeper issues..
Review: I am a professional web designer, and have been using FP for a while now. When i switched over to FP i bought this book because it was both for beginers and semi advanced users. As a beginner on FP it helped me with just about everything i needed to know about the software. I will never need another book when it comes to the software itself. It also goes a bit deeper in to things like graphics and colours wich is nice but not why i bought the book. One dissapointing part was the database connectivity. It is very messy and didn't really make any sence. I still haven't figured out how to do it, that part should have been left out totally, because the guy has no clue what he is talking about. But over all if you are working with FP or am thinking about it. This is the book for you, if you are already good at FP and am looking for the deeper issues like database management. Buy something else.

Summary: *The* source for FrontPage Documentation
Review: I am the proud owner of "Running FrontPage 98", a valuable tome that I have found very easy to understand. I only wish I had something like this when I was self-teaching myself FrontPage 1.1. Jim Buyens is to be praised for the clarity and detail he put into this book. In plain english, he not only describes the uses of FrontPage, but he actually goes and explains aspects about the Internet that can often be confusing. Jim picks up where the normal FrontPage documentation leaves off. If I had a question on how basic or advanced features worked in FrontPage, all I needed to do was check the index and flip to the section. On very rare occasions, will I loan this book out, and even then, it is never far from my cubicle. You want to learn FrontPage? This is the book for you.

Summary: A major improvement in MS Press' FP reference books!
Review: I liked this book because Jim Buyens is strong where I am weak--the network environment. I work at home, and it is hard for me to understand how the PWS works. Something goes wrong, and I don't know what to do because I am dealing with software more complex than programs and files. This is the best book that I have found to help me understand how a PWS works.

Summary: The best book to launch you to success with FrontPage 98
Review: Many books on the market focus on the features of a product and forget about the product as a whole. This book focuses on the product and then shows you what it can do. In addition to the excellent discussion and examples on how to use FrontPage and all it's features, this book also gives you some of the best gems on getting FrontPage to work for you the way you expect it to. This book presents a great general backgrounder whether you are a complete novice, or a FrontPage ace that wants to learn about a feature that you are unfamiliar with.

Summary: Great book for study for MS exam
Review: My knowledge of FrontPage 98 was small before I picked up this book. I do, however, have a fair bit of computing background. I used this book as my main source to pass the Microsoft MCP exam 70-055. It covered most of the material fairly well. Need to have plenty of hands on exposure as well. The only criticism I have is that the method and extent to which database access was covered needs some work. Good alround book for the beginner to semi advanced user. If you're already well experienced in the use of FrontPage then you'll need something deeper than this book.

Summary: very detailed yet easy to understand. Extremely helpful
Review: This book gives you details that the Microsoft manual doesnt give you. It is thorough in every aspect of creating,editing and publishing a website with Frontpage98.

Rating:
Summary: A must have resource for anyone using FrontPage 98
Review: This book is fluff. There is just as much if not more pertinent information in the manual shipped with FrontPage 98 as there is in this book. If your into page after page of non FrontPage information then this book is for you.
