Sam's How to Use FrontPage 2002 is an easy-to-use guidebook to the latest version of FrontPage. I upgraded from FrontPage 98 and found the 2002 version much easier to use. Many of the oddball features of the 98 version have been eliminated. 2002 is a much simpler program to use.

This book uses many illustrations in color to show you what to do. These are well laid out and the text is simply and effectively written. I found the index quite adequate although I supplemented it myself with several items that I thought I might require again in the future.

The only time I didn't follow the recommendations given by the authors was in dealing with images. I find it often easier to copy the images from scanners and other sites and to move them, also, by copying and pasting rather than by some of the methods suggested.

Highly recommended.

A concise yet sufficiently detailed guide to using FrontPage 2002, this book is a gem. It's well organized and chock full of helpful hints and how-to's. Perfect for beginners, it's also a visual tour de force. I was able to create and publish a surprisinly decent website for my office in less than a week. Overall, a very impressive work!

In my opinion, the best "how to" book on JavaScript for someone like myself - a novice in both JavaScript and programming. I spent a fair amount of time reading online reviews and followed that by examining the books at the local bookstore. This book concluded my search for an introduction to JavaScript. If you are someone who is looking to learn this scripting language, I have no reservations in recommending this book.

Importantly, it is very well written. I have come across tech books where the author might have a tremendous amount of knowledge on the subject... but simply isn't a fluid writer, making it dry and difficult to follow. This book is well organized, the explanations are clear and easy to follow, and the writing style is not dry. The writing style also refrains from cheesy humor - a style that some might enjoy, but I find that it can get annoying.

At 896 pages it is quite comprehensive, and (to my untrained eye) appears similar to the O'Reilly Definitive Guide in this respect. (The O'Reilly is 776 ppg. and printed in a larger font) . However, "Using JavaScript" is a tutorial guide whereas the O'Reillly is not. The explanations are geared towards the novice and include simple examples of the code that can be typed in to see how it functions in the browser. The O'Reilly guide relies more on verbal explanations - which, for the beginner like myself, aren't that helpful as I can't relate the explanation to its actual working function.

The earlier chapters of this book carefully explain everything and provide easy to follow examples. The scripts become more complex as the book progresses. The included scripts cover, I assume, most of the stuff you'd need to know to add basic functionality to a web page... in this respect it acts like a cookbook such as the JavaScript Quick Start Guide. Unlike the Quick Start Guide, however, this book goes far deeper into explaining the mechanics of JavaScript and is much more useful in this regard.

This book should get anyone who understands the C programming language and HTML up and running in a few days. Do things like use Javascript to check for certain conditions, the web browser information, password protection, shopping cart and such. The book is an introduction so you don't see server side scripting, however, most pro webpages use a whole lot more technologies like DHTML,XML and there is a need for other supplementary material. Yes there is a need for a JavaScript language reference like Pure JavaScript. Anyway, I think I like it because it is well written.

I FOUND THIS BOOK VERY USEFUL AS I TRAVEL AROUND ON MY VACTION TOURS. I SUGGEST ALL OWN A COPY. PAUL

I've been hogging this book from my local library, and just decided to add it to my wishlist for an upcoming birthday.

The plans are simple and very straightforward, oriented for people without expensive woodworking tools or without a lot of experience. The book includes eight birdhouse plans and six feeder plans. Several of the plans include optional variations. The plans are easy to understand.

These would also be good plans to build with a son or daughter.

The book is well written and up to date. It also includes a large table of specifications for houses/feeders that will attract specific types of birds.

Very helpful book.

What Paul Gilster points out about web surfing works for FINDING IT ON THE INTERNET in general. Like all sites, search terms and tools are created differently so get to know them but be picky and patient: the Internet can have a waiting line. Keep the little black bookmark list of favorites up-to-date. Be as specific as possible with search terms, but be willing to change them regularly. Look over your shoulder when dealing with relevance rankings and title searches. Keep up with the paperwork: organize results into topics. The author's nicely organized and written book surfs well with Phil Bradley's INTERNET POWER SEARCHING, John R Levine's THE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES and MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES, Valerie Quercia's INTERNET IN A NUTSHELL, and Roy Tennant's CROSSING THE INTERNET THRESHOLD.

This was the best overall text on the subject of hazardous materials. The book thoroughly covers some very complex topics in a very easily understood format. The author uses clear examples to illustrate points. The chapter review exercises and questions provide an excellent summary of the main points. As a teacher, I plan to use the book in many of my courses. I would encourage the author to consider publishing other manuals for use with the main text such as a student or instructor guide.

This book is excellent for anyone living in or visiting wales.the sites are unusual as most of the churches are abandoned ruins in picturesque settings and worth exploring. the authors have compiled a variety of interesting stories relating to the churches and also give exact details of how to find them. Also they have supplied a good itinery of other interesting sites in the area.
good value for money, nicely illustrated, well written and clearly presented.

If you use Front Page 2002 to create websites and are not sure you're getting all that you can out of the software, you probably aren't. This book will teach it to you. I have been using Front Page since the '97 edition, and I thought that after all my years of experience with it, I knew it all. It turns out that I had a LOT to learn. This software and do much more than meets the eye, and with this book, you can create a website that will impress millions. ...

What a great book! It is refreshing to read a historical guide that doesn't take itself too seriously. On This Spot brings the sights and history to life for us transplated Washingtonians. While the book can be used as a walking tour guide, it can just as easily take you on a tour through history from your living room. Makes me feel like I am in Washington again!

I thought this might be useful.

Travelling around England is, in many senses, a journey back in time. On all sides, and sometimes even under the road itself, there are fragments of the ancient past. England is one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to visible archaeological sites, ancient buildings, and historic towns. Medieval villages, castles, ancient churches, and Roman villas are commonplace. Far older, yet equally abundant, are the barrows, hillforts, stone circles, camps, standing stones, and other relics of prehistoric times that have survived for several thousand years.

This Guide covers all these ancient remains -- ranging from the first appearance of people in what we now call England during the last Ice Age until the end of medieval times around 1600 AD. Written by three archaeologists, each a specialist in the fields of prehistoric, Roman, and medieval sites included in this Guide. Arranged in 12 regional sections, with easy-to-follow instructions on finding and visiting sites. Includes well-known sites such as Stonehenge, the Vale of the White Horse, Hadrian's Wall, Avebury, Maiden Castle, and Winchester, as well as smaller, lesser-known sites, and cities such as London and York which offer a wealth of archaeological remains. 200 photographs, plans, and maps. Introductory section providing background and context to the monuments. Extensive reference section including a glossary, further reading, and chronology. Listings of museums and their collections, contacts for further information, and internet sites.
