I use them for consulting, so when some information it's not included in one, it could be in others. The language of this book is simple and easy for understanding.It's a good choice independent of you are a novice or proffesional. Mabe Just isn't very good, December 22, 2008 I just don't think this is a very good book. It was a little confusing through chapter 3, but I'll admit I learned a few things. However, in chapter 4, the screen shots didn't match the sample files. So I checked the `done' files, and they also didn't match the book's screen shots. It might be nit picking, but when you're trying to learn, it would be nice if the instructions match the materials that you're trying to learn from. At one point, after following the instructions in the book, Expression Web crashed. I tried about three times to follow the instructions, and each resulted in a crash. Okay, maybe Expression Web is buggy on a Vista laptop with 4G memory. I'd like to think that the book is just wrong. On to chapter 5, and the rest of the book. It's almost as if the author lost interest. From here on out it just seems to be instructions to click here, open this file, change this setting, etc. The explanations are pretty shallow. Yes, the title is Step by Step, but I think the reader deservers better information for why actions are being performed. This is the first Step by Step Microsoft Press book that I've purchased. Maybe this is standard fare for the series. So, two stars because I did learn something, but not more, because it just isn't very good. Spoiled by FrontPage? Yes I am But ..., December 02, 2008 When I first got this book I thought to myself "Great! Let's bite the bullet, dive right in and get the learning curve behind me." And, unfortunately that's not exactly how it is with this book. I admit, I'm spoiled by the old FrontPage way of doing things alas, reading this book got me even more confused and ready to pull my hair out so, out of frustration I ended up getting Sam's teach yourself Expression web 2. Writing a "How To" book is a difficult task for anyone. Adding examples that can be used for exercises is a bonus. But, wanting to learn basically two - maybe three things - and being walked through stuff that didn't retain my attention was the main reason why this book only received 3 stars. I suppose after I scan through Sam's book and do a few mock sites I'll appreciate this book BUT, it's unlikely and will pick up something more advanced. Kudos, November 23, 2008 A very good book for the beginner, or an intermediate user of Frontpage, This is the second edition, explains how to embed Silverlight, Media Player and Flash into your website. Explains how to use ASP.NET 2 features and controls, somethings not in the first edition (Step by Step Microsoft Expression Web). Includes CD for practice files, book arrived in good shape and within 2 days for standard mailing. Can contact author for questions. You might also be interested in these items...
