• Excellent Book If You're New To Frontpage
31 May, 2003
This books is excellent if you are new to FrontPage or web design. The book is easy to read, provides good examples, and covers the key features of FrontPage plus a little more: website design, organization, images, tables, forms (email, confirmation pages, etc.). Though much of FrontPage's features (font, inserting images, tables, etc.) works similarly to MS Word, PowerPoint, or Publisher, I found Kirupa's book useful.STRENGTHS 1. Easy to read and well-organized intro to the basics of FrontPage. 2. Kirupa has a website that serves as a valuable (and free) companion to the book. There, you can download examples of FrontPage functions and designs mentioned throughout his book. There's also discussion forum, among other information. 3.Kirupa personally answers questions via email. I sent him an email with a FrontPage question last night and got a response back from this afternoon. That's impressive.OPPORTUNITY AREAS I would rate the book with five stars if: 1. It included a very basic glossary of the key tools and inputs used in FrontPage. Kirupa provides excellent "how to" instructions to do a very specific task, e.g. "Click here, then click there, etc." However, in many cases, FrontPage gives you many other options within the same tool bar function. Without a glossary, it's hard to know why he chose not to click on the other options available. 2. I think there may be an over-reliance on learning FrontPage by rote. I like Kirupa's "training seminar approach", but the shortfall is that we rely a lot on his downloadable examples. Again, we follow his step-by-step instructions, but we don't really know why we click on "this" and not on "that".Overall, the benefits of the book outweigh the opportunities. One must keep in mind that the book is meant for beginners, and Kirupa does a solid job here. I guess Kirupa taught the basics of FrontPage so quickly and easily that one can't help but want a detailed glosary in order to start learning some of the more advanced functions!

• Needs To Be Reworked.
29 September, 2004
This is not the best written book. I am learning a lot of stuff about FrontPage 2002, but I while reading the book I get the filling that it was by more than one person. Sometimes the 1st person is used, sometimes it is not. The steps in the books are not always clear and are overly wordy. Some of the steps seem to over explain process that had already be explain earlier, almost as if the author did not realize he had already explain them. You can learn with this book, but unless you're buying it at a very discounted price, by some other book.

• Not Good
20 December, 2003
While this book is good at providing an overview of all of the features that are contained within FP, do not even try to use it as a reference book. The steps are so geared to his specific downloaded examples that you cannot translate the steps to whatever you are working on. More theory and less "...and now do this..." kind of content would have been way more helpful. The number of typos are extraordinary - here is my favorite "...you can set an included page with the text Welcome to automatically change to Merry Christams on December 31." Merry Christmas, Mr. Channathambi!

Front Page 2002: A beginner's guide - does a decent job of teaching you Frontpage, but it is overly simplistic. It takes forever to learn core tasks. The main fault I found with the book is that it is NOT concise! In a manual of this type, you want the author to get to the key points, efficiently communicate what you need to know, and move on. This book fails in this regard. That said, to it's credit, if you have the time, it does eventually get around to explaining how to use front page.
