Great Examples, Great Content, Great Book!

I don't normally post reviews on items, but this was the first time a book that I read actually fulfilled its purpose of teaching me FrontPage. I have had no prior experience in creating a Web site with the exception of a free site I maintained in my spare time. I was looking into improving my skills in design, and this book really helped me out by teaching the program we call FrontPage! If you are looking for a great book to get started in Web design using FrontPage, this book written by Kirupa Chinathambi is an excellent addition.What I liked about this book is the varied examples. A lot of the beginner guide books use the same or similar mundane examples and force people to learn from them. FrontPage 2002 A Beginner's Guide uses a variety of examples, color schemes, and more beyond the repetitive default MS provided themes. Best of all, Kirupa teaches you how to create the examples in a "recipe" like format with clear step-by-step instructions.In short, this book was interesting to read. The author has a bright sense of humor , and some of the examples in the book reflect that. Complementing the humor is the rock-solid content and examples. The author is very familiar with FrontPage, and one look at this book's Web site shows the author's deep understanding in design and FrontPage. Interspersed throughout the book are the Author's comments and Tips and Notes that teach you new methods of doing old tricks, explain unclear features, and tell you why things work the way they work.Get this book! It is the best book on FrontPage 2002 for newbies that I have read.

Great FrontPage book for All Users

Mr. Chinnathambi wrote an excellent book regarding Microsoft's FrontPage 2002. I bought this book upon reading the excellent reviews, and I could not be more happy that I did. As long-time fan of HTML and Web programming, I was amazed at how much FrontPage 2002 can accomplish quickly. This book helped me greatly in conquering all of FP's features.Upon reading Mr. Chinnathambi's book, FrontPage 2002: ABG, I learned about many features, tips, and techniques that I never knew FrontPage even had supported such as server side includes, asp database queries, and more. This book does a wondeful job at presenting information concisely. I had a question and e-mailed the author himself, and he was more than kind enough to respond back with a thorough reply that solved my problem.If you are looking for a great book that combines great information and top-notch help, I highly recommend this book for anyone. Beginners will enjoy the step-by-step information, intermediate users will enjoy the editing information, and advanced users will enjoy the information on databases, external css files, and more!Regards,DHTML Dude

Easy way to learn FrontPage

I have read many books about the Internet and Web development, but this book was one of the best. The examples are easy to understand, and many of the questions that I had about features in FrontPage 2002 were answered clearly. The chapter (module) that contained information about all of the FrontPage Web Components alone is worth buying this book. The entire book nicely combines design and information with source files and colorful examples created by the author himself! This will be one of the best books aimed at teaching beginners like me FrontPage.
