Customer Reviews

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
It is a waste of money. This book did not help us at all. It is not a standard "Dummies" book. It is poorly organized and poorly written. After much frustration, we ended up spending more money to buy Microsoft's Step-by-Step to finally learn everything we needed to know about FrontPage. Spend a little more for Step-by-Step and you won't regret it. If you still want to buy this Asha Dornfest's FrontPage for Dummies, please email me because I have a copy I can't use.

Mediocre at best...
I've got to agree with a previous review by Jeff, this is a dull book, with no spark, wit or charm. More importantly, it does a rather poor job of introducing the overall concepts of how the software operates and visually composes the website, before it gets into details. Sure, it's important to let people get their feet wet, but the order in which concepts are presented very much matter. Several times during my read, I didn't understand why something I did in chapter 2 worked until I was well into chapter 7. This is like being thrown into playing a game, but not being told the rules until 2/3 of the way through. I'm a big fan of most Dummies books, but not this one.

Extremely clear and helpful
I am using FrontPage 2002 to create a business website and found this book to be a great resource. It is clear and simplified - all the answers to your questions are easy to find and well explained. I disagree with the other reviewer who said this was a dull read - it's probably as interesting as anything written about this topic could possibly be. I bought this book because I needed to know how to use this program and I didn't want to wade through any thick manuals. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling to use FrontPage 2002.
