In New Webmaster’s Guide To FrontPage 2002, Jason Gerend and Stephen Nelson effectively collaborate to present an eight step approach for designing, building, and managing FrontPage 2002-based web sites. These steps include determining a web site’s goals, laying the foundation, collecting and organizing content, crating the website, creating webpages, polishing the webpages, adding interactivity features to the website, and deploying the website. Complete in a single, “user friendly” volume, Gerend and Nelson’s New Webmaster’s Guide To FrontPage 2002 is a “must” for anyone using FrontPage 2002 to craft and maintain their personal or commercial website.

This book title “New Webmaster’s Guide To FrontPage 2002″ is misleading. The reality is that this book is geared toward a “New” a.k.a. “Novice” individual that is going to be using FrontPage to develop a presence on the web for the 1st time; “Webmaster & FrontPage 2002″ should not be in the title. I purchased this book believing that it would provide some insight into some of the new features that will be forthcoming in the coming release of FrontPage 2002. Microsoft states that FrontPage 2002 has 34 new features then earlier version 2000. To name a few… PowerPoint type Drawing tool,Automatic Web Content,Discussion Board, Dynamic Online Surveys, CSS formatting, and Web components like Photo Gallery, Link Bars, Top 10 Lists, List Views from SharePoint Team Services, Save to Database, and Automatic Web Content like headlines, stock ticker, and maps., Inline Frames via HTML 4-based support,Single Page Publishing, Background Publishing,Document Library, and above all the ability to add e-commerce functionality to your site with this version. You will find very little or no reference to many of these new features. It’s a big disappointment. Rating: 1 / 5
If you are thinking about buying Microsoft FrontPage 2002 when it arrives on stores shelve sometime this summer? I suggest that you get this book with your purchase. If you are a beginner webmaster thinking about web designing, building, and managing with FrontPage then I suggest that you get this book.
If you are a beginner to intermediate doing web design, building and management this is a good book to have on your book shelf. It offers the eight steps for designing, building, and managing FrontPage 2002 web sites. The others Jason Gerend and Stephen L. Nelson do a great job of giving you all the knowledge you’ll need to get started designing, building, and managing web sites using FrontPage 2002. Even before you start designing you need a domain name, a server to store your web site. All the little things are brought to light. These are thing that the other main stream books do not cover ( I wish I had this book about a year ago!)
The way the writers break the web building process down in to steps is very easy for a non-techie to understand and follow. Jason and Stephen weed out the trash of a how to book. For example it is understood that you already know how to use the Windows Operating environment, so they do not explain how to choose commands from the tool bars and how text boxes work ( very refreshing).
