Customer Reviews

Not one for this novice!
I went straight for this book as I thought it would be fairly basic, given the name. Unfortunately, I found it rather weighty for a beginner and although it appears to run through everything you may need for website creation using Frontpage, I feel it is not user-friendly enough for 'dummies'. This in spite of the fact that I have completed a good basic course on FrontPage, so I am not an absolute novice. Perhaps it would be more suitable for a more advanced level.
Not one for me I'm afraid - I'm off to buy one of the visually -full color books!

Too big a dummy for this book?
I thought front page for dummies would be really really basic, but clearly I am too big a dummy even for this book. I found it got me started on the most basic things, but it repeated itself a lot, on some things, and left me feeling lost and and abandoned on others.
I'm about to buy another front page book, so we shall see whether this 'dummy' is beyond help or not.
