Customer Reviews

What a great little book!

Normally I do HTML code by hand, lately I've moved to FrontPage. I can't say enough good things about this fantastic little book. It has been very helpful for me every step of the way in my FrontPage implementation. A good starter book with solid design tips.

Simple, fast and easy!

When I took over the responsibility for our internal website, I knew nothing about web design or frontpage. After one on one instrucion from the former website designer, and after trying another book on the subject, without much real help, I came upon "Faster Smarter FrontPage". In very little time, I began to feel more comfortable working with creating our pages. It is well written, easy to understand and follow, and not written above the average person's head. Each time I refer to it, I learn more about structuring and changing a web page. It is not only a great teaching tool, but also a great reference. I highly recommend it to beginners and old hands alike!

Excellent

I spent an hour in the bookstore looking for a good book to get me started on FrontPage. For me it was a choice of the best book for the money and $50 seemed way too much to spend on a book plus I didn't think I need a huge book. There are more than a few $20-25 FrontPage books trust me. The choice to get this book came down to the fact it is the best book. In 350 pages it covers everything I am ever going to do on FrontPage and then some. I liked the cut to the chase approach. Chapter 1 was excellent to get me up to speed on all the technologies adn features needed. Chapters 4-9 is where I've spent the most time. I read each chapter, then used the examples to create my site. Nothing but praise for this excellent book. I have shared it with several colleagues who set up sites as well.

Excellent...does what I expected

As a recent DreamWeaver to FrontPage switcher, this book has been invaluable to me. Even with the easy Windows GUI and 2 years of design experience I found this book to be a great read and reference.I expected this book to target the end-user and designers and in that respect it met my expectations. Faster Smart FrontPage 2003 is exactly what it claims to be: a faster smarter way to learn FrontPage 2003. I was pleasantly surprised when I found the authors emphasized sound design and put in many under-the-hood details. Those little details make all the difference. It is filled with a ton of *good* info ranging from very basic to fairly in-depth. The material is well-organized and well-laid out, making it easy to read, easy to use.This is a great book whether you're relatively new to FrontPage or have some experience. If you have already know FrontPage 2003 or have many years of advanced experience, you'll probably want to use this book only as a quick reference for how to get something done. If you are looking for an expert book this isn't it.Having switched to FrontPage 2003 I was left wondering exactly how to do things. FrontPage is easy to use but there are a lot of times when you need help and this book is a big help. The writing style is both thorough and concise and does a good job of bridging the gap between complete novice and intermediate user needs. Last, the book is very current when it comes to design and does a good job of steering you around design pitfalls.

great!

Great for the price! It covers a lot more of FrontPage 2003 than I would have thought. In fact eveything I've had a question about has been in the book and answered well. Highly recommended.
