Special Edition Using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 captures the reality of designing Web sites with FrontPage today. The emphasis is on how to design professional looking sites, how to keep them current with effective content management techniques, and how to do both while working toward the crucial goals of strong communication and interaction.
Elements exist in each chapter that have been crafted to make your reading experience as easy and useful as possible and also to make this book truly serve as the only reference you need for FrontPage 2003. Everything about the software is covered, with increased emphasis in this edition on advanced topics such as scripting, databases, and the design of site interaction. The creation of effective interaction is featured throughout the book, as are the principles of effective communication.
The "Front and Center" area of each chapter is used to interject the authors' real-world experiences and provide that extra piece of knowledge that will help you see the whole picture. They also attempt to have a little fun in this section, showing the personal side to the product they have spent so much time with.
In addition to some sample files and source code from the book, the CD-ROM contains: supplemental FrontPage software (a $100 value!), Internet marketing service trials from a top Internet marketing firm worth $54.95, several popular FrontPage add-ins, including one from Jimco Add-ins called SnipView available exclusively to readers of this book, and more!

Useful, but not meeting expectations, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 (Paperback)
The other reviewers have done a fine job, and I do recommend the book, but my expectations were not completely met.Firstly, it has a lot of repetition, which makes for a physically large book. Maybe this is good for learning for some, but I found it a little annoying. 1. It includes "Woody's Office Power Pack 2003", which ONLY works with Office 2003, not XP or earlier. You have to pay for the earlier versions. No value to me, as I am an XP user. 2. The examples from the book are "buggy", and so far, I've not found them to work as advertised. 3. The so-called "software library" is only for trialware - 30 days max. The sort of thing you can download off the web anyway, so no added value here. 4. The graphics library is very small and limited when compared with other online sources - again, no added value 5. The remainder of the CDROM... Read more

Not the only book you'll need, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 (Paperback)
This book is more of a presentation on what Microsoft FrontPage 2003 CAN do and less of a helpful book about HOW to use FrontPage. It's touted as the "the only FrontPage 2003 book you need" but a beginner like me would be better served by buying a step-by-step instruction book.

3 Books on learning FrontPage 2003, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 (Paperback)
I actually bought 3 books: Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Step-by-Step, Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Inside-Out, and Que Special Edition Using FrontPage 2003.Step-by-step is a very useful starting point, but you'll soon run out of this book. By far, the best of the 3 is Que's Using FrontPage 2003 - it is excellent! FrontPage 2003 Inside-Out is good IF you're interested in Active Server Pages. But all in all - if you want to buy just one I recommend Que Special Edition Using FrontPage 2003. The format lets you learn by solving problems that you run into. For example, you want find out about Banners, the book not only answers your questions but gives you the background and advise on using the feature. And the author is very candid about suggesting when to use and NOT use a particular feature. The authors obviously have used the product for real-world web sites and really wanted to share their experiences and knowledge. |
