Review:

For a no-nonsense, easy-to-use tool for learning Microsoft FrontPage 98 and the nuances of Web authoring, look no further than this Visual QuickStart Guide. You start off with an introduction to the FrontPage interface and basic Web terminology, then move on to Web concepts such as HTML, browsers, and Web-site hosting. Amidst this process, Davis addresses Web design issues such as image choice, color, cascading style sheets, consistency, and narrative. Then you get right to work in FrontPage, installing the software, viewing Web sites, and using the FrontPage Editor. Next you add text, graphics, multimedia files, and navigational elements. Chapters on adding forms and components help you with the more advanced aspects of Web authoring. The book consists of concise step-by-step instructions and many screen shots and usage tips, allowing you to get right to work without wading through lengthy discussions. --Kathleen Caster
