Customer Reviews

Rushed to print
Unfortunately this book was hurried to print, so cross references to other chapters are incorrect (or the chapter may not even be there) and index references are inaccurate. As a user of Front Page, I hoped that I would be led to understand what to do to adapt my old webs to the new program. I found this book unhelpful for this purpose.

Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies
Useful, but far from the best of its type as it falls between two stools. There is much very simple information for example on fonts and colours (for Dummies), and other sections such as that on CSS styles nearly impossible to grasp. There is no mention of frames, little on usability (as opposed to the needs of the handicaped) and virtually none on the difference between Expression and the earlier versions of FrontPage. Everyone will have his or her own needs but this book is uneven in its coverage and does not always reflect what actually happens when you try to use a feature, such as dynamic templates.

Easy Reading and informative
The material is presented in a logical manner that builds on what was learned before. It is easy to read and not loaded with high tech language although it is there when necessary but well explained.
