Product Description
Special Edition Using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 is an all-in-one guide to designing, creating, and publishing on the World Wide Web and on intranets with the leading tool on the market. The book fully documents the product and its features, but it also gives you a solid foundation in the principles of planning and design. More advanced coverage shows you how to integrate Web sites with databases and add Dynamic HTML, XML, and Java applets to your Web sites.
Amazon.com Review
If you're using FrontPage to design Web sites for intranets or the Internet, consider Que's Special Edition: Using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 as your standard reference. Comprehensive, easy to use, and clearly written, it sets the standard for books aimed at intermediate and advanced users. Because it is not written as a tutorial, novices may be intimidated by its heft, organization, and the assumptions the writers have made concerning skill level. However, if you want the details on Web design, creation and collaboration, and integration with databases, Visual Basic and other Office 2000 applications, you should look no further. The text is clear and easy to read, images are appropriate and plentiful, and the accompanying CD-ROM includes the searchable text, new themes and Web graphics, and demo software and shareware like Storefront 2000 and PerlBuilder. It's refreshing to get a non-Microsoft perspective for this level of use; while its publication comes too early to report fully on bugs and fixes, its depth and completeness will give you a leg up when the inevitable happens and you need solutions. --Rob Lightner

 Good book April 28, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is good for Front Page 2000. If you are familiar with FrontPage 2000 then and then only read this book. Some of the topics are discussed at great lenght and some of the topics are just covered in a few paragraphs. I suggest you to first try Front Page 2000 and then try to find solutions from this book. It works well then reading this book completely. Treat this book as referance only. If the book had beed with many examples, surtainly it whould have helped lot of people. This book also discuss things related Servers , Java , Active X , Java Scripts and Database. I have found this book helpful to find even lesser known features of FrontPage. Again I suggest this book only if you are familiar with Front Page 2000. hasitdave@yahoo.com
 boring, wordy, heavy and typos May 26, 2000
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
there is almost an introduction to every sub-section. clearing out all the redundancies, the book should be 600 pages. the 21 pages of table of contents killed a lot more trees than required. however, all tht length and boredom help u 2 pass by those typos and outdated image insertions. there were also some wrong "cut and paste" works, (in full sentance). on page 55, while talking about 'insert', there is a weird sentance about 'undo' which is from the 'undo' section. then the 'undo' sentance shows up again in the next paragraph. both the author and proof reader should be fired. i say there is an error of some sort in every 2.5 pages. i m currently at page 171. some FP components are not working as i read through the book, but it doesnt cover why, lots of useless bs. recommend me a good book and i'll give this one to u free. sneedu@usa.net
Quite Boring March 15, 2000

I have already designed websites with FrontPage, without using any book. I decided to buy this one to learn a thing or too. I have done just that. I am still at page 110 and it's not fair to rate the whole book yet, but I must say it's hard to keep my eyes open(how boring it is).
Database section is weak February 16, 2000
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
I purchase this book to aid in the building of a database site. I was disappointed that the CD did not contain the sample files discussed in the book and the author did not respond to my email. In addition his website is empty If your goal is to be able to delete and modify records in a database then the six pages at the end of the chapter "Advanced Database Techniques" will most likely not be enough for you. This section of the chapter (p.870) begins by saying "Frontpage does not provide a large amount of flexibility for more advanced data maintenance, such as deleting information, or editing information."
 Too wordy - not enough examples January 10, 2000

I have found QUE books to be excellent in the past (dBASE IV was a gem), but this one falls a bit short. I continually find myself reading three or four pages of garbage before I get to the content I am looking for. When I get there, the example is too basic and then the next section starts.I didn't find the section on Scripting too informative and now I have to look into another book. I am not an advanced user of FP2000 so my low rating is not because of my need for an expert manual. The basic material was covered fairly well other than the blah, blah, blah. This book should be about half its size based on the same content. Why don't they give us a no fluff book (&CD) with a full example of an advanced site, explain it in the book and let the user figure out the rest. That's what I liked about the old dBASE IV book with its inventory system example.
