2.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate Content and Too Simple, May 21, 2008
I bought this book to try and get a handle on the new features in the product. I found some of the information to be inaccurate (not sure if it was based on a version prior to the version that Microsoft released or if the author was just careless) and some of the information that was included is confusing and hard to follow. I do like the quality of the graphics, but that hardly makes up for the other shortcomings.

There are much better choices available. I also bought Jim Cheshire Using Expression Web 2 and I found it to be much better.

One more thing. I'm not sure why the 5-star review that I see on this book appears here. It appears to be a review for the first Expression Web book from this author. It doesn't seem right for that to be used for this book. Strange.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, September 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book was shipped to me on June 23, 2008. I picked it up a couple of days later to start learning Expression Web 2. I have been using FrontPage in a simple fashion for ten years. I was reminded in the Introduction to download the example files and workshop files from the Publishers web site.

I found the example files, but there was a note that the workshop files would be available 5/25/08. Bear in mind this was the last week in June that I was reading the note. I purchased this book thinking that these files would teach me how to post a reasonably simple CSS EW2 web site. I emailed Perspection and got a prompt response on 7/16 from the Author, Steve Johnson. Steve said there had been a server crash and they were redoing the files. I thanked him and have continued to check the Perspection site frequently. The note is still there on 9/9/08 indicating they would be available 5/25/08. Maybe they meant 2009.

So I gave up and contacted Amazon's instant call back... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars I concur with other reviewers--this book is dreadful, July 12, 2009
I'm trying to catch up with the times after being a 9-year user of FrontPage. I was hoping this manual could help me make the transition but it is just absolutely useless. I know how to open a page and edit text--I need to understand what CSS, ASP.NET, etc. is and how to use them. I have never been so disappointed with a computer manual. Do not waste your money.
