Front Page for Dummies 2000 flops!
I wanted a book to learn FP 2000, I went straight to the Dummie section. The Dummie proved to be me.
First let me say, I have been creating websites for several years in HTML, so I'm not a novice, but this book frustrated me!
Poorly written, jumps around until you are confused. Skims each subject, nothing in depth here. A lot of important information is skipped, and 2 chapters are on the CD. So, if you want to use them, you have the expense of printing them yourself! The CD is full of outdated links also.
I actually learned more using the tutorial that came with FP 2000, the Dummy book was a complete waste of my limited book funds...

Excellent for the real beginners
This book is excellent for someone looking to design a family or personal website. but when it comes to designing a professional looking website it is useless.
For example: When I bought this book I thought it would not only teach me how to put colors on my webpage but also how to pick the right colors that reflect the contents of the webpage... You can learn the information that this book presents with out reading the book. you can just use FrontPage for a couple of hours and you would probably learn more than reading it.
If you want to learn FrontPage 2000 then start with this book, but don't depend on it to design a real professional website.
I can say that it only tells you how to use FrontPage and not how to design a website with FrontPage!

Good starting point, worth the price
I read this book a couple of years ago as a fledgling "web master" for a non-profit organization. With virtually no experience in web design before, I was able to complete this book in a weekend and start designing in Front Page. It was the perfect book to get me started. I have since outgrown Front Page and moved up to Dreamweaver which is much better suited for large advanced sites. Though, I still think Front Page is the fastest way to create a simple website and the easiest way to manage a small to medium sized website. Front Page for dummies will give you the essential skills you need to use Front Page and is a quick easy read. Well worth the nominal price of the book.
