Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Basic Coverage of a Complex Program
Review: For anyone who finds larger texts too intimidating, and who needs just a basic personal web site (for which FrontPage is eminently suited), this book may help, at least if read in conjunction with doing the examples in the "Getting Started" book accompanying FP2000.

You'd have to like adages such as "too many cooks spoil the broth" and other non-technical stuff throughout, and an index of only average (i.e. poor) standard.

For more serious web site builders who may wish to restrict access to some web pages, or who want to use FP2000's more advanced features, and given that Microsoft has made such a dog's breakfast of FP2000, this book has gaps that you could fly a jumbo jet through. Consequently, some of the steps outlined in the book do not work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great place to start from
Review: This book is an excellent way to begin using Frontpage 2000. I knew nothing about websites but in 5 hours I had created one with frames, links, pictures, tables, online forms and a hit counter. This book is an easy read and simple to follow, with enough advanced tips to not make it useless after the first read. Very glad I bought it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pretty pictures but little content
Review: When I began to use Frontpage I was given a copy of this book to help get started. While the book has many pictures - it provides no practical help when you start working with Frontpage. The online help will provide more details than this book. Check out the alternatives before deciding on this one.
