Amazon.com Review:
FrontPage 2000: The Complete Reference contains screen shots and interface labels that explain, completely, the tools Web developers have available to them when using FrontPage 2000. Such elements are important parts of any software-documentation effort. But the authors of this book go beyond mere descriptions, explaining how to use the tools to achieve the kinds of effects you want on your Web sites. They're like scientists describing what they see, but also like engineers setting out to accomplish practical tasks.

Many FrontPage 2000 books mistakenly assume that the latest version of Microsoft's editor for Web sites is a lot like its predecessors: big, slow, and not well-suited to serious Web publishing efforts. That's not the case and the authors know this, explaining with great clarity how to use all of FrontPage 2000's features.

The book includes a lot of procedures, so if you're looking to find out how to enable Active Server Pages (ASP) or draw a table, you'll have no trouble finding specific steps to follow. Coverage of ASP, databases, and other aspects of dynamic site creation is particularly strong here. Sticking to their follow-this-procedure method, the authors explain how to collect data from a Web form and store it in a database, as well as demonstrating the construction of pages from database contents on the fly--a useful technique for such applications as catalogs and directories. This is an excellent resource for FrontPage 2000 users. --David Wall

Topics covered: Web site creation with Microsoft FrontPage 2000. Elementary coverage includes the basics of templates, layout, graphics, text, hyperlinks, and other fundamental design elements. Advanced coverage includes database connectivity, dynamic page generation, Dynamic HTML (DHTML), ActiveX controls, and the basics of electronic commerce. In addition to FrontPage coverage, there's information on Image Composer and PhotoDraw.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- No book
Dealing with Amazon Digital Books is like dealing with a brick wall!

Rating:

- Poorly produced volume
This book appears to be fairly comprehensive and easy to understand. Unfortunately, the publisher seems to have cut corners on the binding. I have tried two different copies and with each copy pages started falling out after very little use. If you are looking for a reference book, be aware that this Osborne publication is likely to fall apart before you have finished your first web site.

- Best Available
I couldn't give this book a 5 because I found some things missing, and describing almost everything from a personal web server standpoint isn't helpful to people with disk based Webs. I do, however, consider it to be the best one that I've read, and I've been through quite a few.

The information that they provided on Meta tags and site submission I could not find in any other FrontPage book, only in books dealing entirely with HTML. I think this info alone makes it worth buying, especially ... Read More

- Tough book to rate
If you are truly just buying it to learn to use FP, I suppose the book deserves more than a 1. If you got conned into thinking that you might learn even one iota of ASP or Database Connectivity from these two HORRIBLE chapters, you would give it less than a one. As for the FP stuff, it does cover almost all the features, but seldom gets into the nitty gritty, so after you learn FP from a surface point of view, this book is practically useless. This is hardly a good reference book.

Rating:

- In-depth, very helpful
Showed me things about Frontpage I never knew, and got me cranking out web pages they way I finally wanted them to look. I won't give it 5 stars because the book got wordy at times and rambled on a bit on some topics, but overall you'll learn a great deal.
