Review title: This book is nearly worthless
Product review: In 20 years of computing, I have rarely encountered a book as poor as this one. For one thing, rather than starting a web site from scratch and enhancing it as new lessons are learned, the author has the reader continually creating new web sites from scratch, resulting in a very fragmented learning approach. Secondly, there is far more information in the online help than is contained in the book. In several instances I had to read the online help to figure out what the book was talking about. Lastly, in several cases instructions were given were just plain wrong. For example, it states that "the method of publishing you will learn will work on both FrontPage-and-non-FrontPage-compliant Web servers." Wrong, it didn't work with my ISP, and this book was useless in finding out why. Save your money, pass on this one.
