Lowest Price Faster Smarter Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
I wanted to design my own web sites for my two businesses. So I bought MS Frontpage and a couple of books to teach me how. I'd never done any web design before. This book seemed most to the point, so it was the first one I started with.
After having read four more books on the topic, I can speak with some authority on which ones are good and which ones not.
Although this book isn't the worst one of the bunch, ("Absolute beginner's guide to creating web pages" is), it isn't much good either.
The layout is pathetic:- The book follows no logical order and one has to jump to this chapter and then to another one.
It is also short on step by step instructions, which makes it clear that the book was not written with novices, such as myself, in mind. At the same time it isn't authoritative, which means I had to spend a good deal of time searching the internet for answers which I think should have been in the book.
In the end I gave up because I felt that this book wasn't helping me at all.
Luckily for me, I'd also ordered " Build your own web site" by David Karlins (ASIN/0072229535), which had me up and running in no time at all. The funny thing is that Karlin's book has an almost overwhelming amount of information more than this book, even though it is only 222 pages, compared to 347 pages.
The information in Karlins' book is much more useful, and arranged much more logically.
After having spent hours struggling to find the relevant bits in "Faster Smarter", I gave up and took some aspirins. I went back to the PC, armed with "Build your own Web site" and in a short period of time I had a functional web site. And to me that is all that matters.
