Featured Customer Reviews  Technical overview not site design,
August 26, 2008
It is a book designed for web developers. It is not designed for relatively new web designers. Even though I have built many sites using Frontpage, this book was confusing to read.
One of the key components of a website is navigation, yet in a book with 720 pages, only 20 pages is devoted to navigation, and then only using ASP.NET, so if your webhost doesn't support ASP.NET you are out of luck.
It is a great technical manual for developers, but there are more clear and structured books for web designers. Essential,
July 01, 2008 Is this the best book out there?,
May 31, 2008
I'm new to web design, so I'm learning a lot of things at once. I was hoping that this book would make the Expression part of the learning curve feel a little less steep, and it did help. But it did not answer all of the many questions I have. Possilby I'm so unsophisticated that the answers are right in front of me and I don't see them.
I ended up using the templates that come with Expression Web to figure most things out. I do use the book as a reference, but I'm certain that I've read all of the chapters before the 'troubleshooting' and more advanced coding stuff begins, and I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
If this is the only book I'll ever need, I'm a little depressed about it. I could use more help.Learn from the FrontPage Master,
May 30, 2008 Anyone who used FrontPage knows who Jimco is and knows that he is the master of FrontPage. When Microsoft got rid of FrontPage and gave us Expression Web, Jimco picked up the ball and ran with it. The result is this book.
Like alot of people who were new to Expression Web, I had trouble with moving to CSS and starting to use ASP.Net to replace all of the FrontPage bots that I found missing in Expression Web. This book taught me everything I needed to know to get up to speed on building a website that complies with today's standards.
I originally didn't review this book, but when I saw that someone had criticized it for not telling you exactly what to do to build your website, I had to write one. In my opinion a book that tells you WHAT to do when you are developing a site is a bad thing. I would rather be educated so that I can make my own decision and that's just what this book does. If you want someone to treat you like an idiot and just tell you what to do then this book isn't for you.
Great book. My favorite and I've got a few.
Using Microsoft Exoression Web,
May 28, 2008 I need a book that tells me how to get something onto the screen(there are so many drop down menues)then tell me what to do with it.This book goes on about something that you don't understand and can't even put on the screen to work with and learn.
Book is a waste of money and worse a waste of good time.
