Venue:  (2002)

From the Book:IntroductionIt was my sister, Tricia, who sat me down in front of her computer and showed me around the Internet for the first time. I remember clearly the thrill and excitement I felt at all of the possibilities. To add to the excitement, she began showing me a software program that had the capability to help create Web pages and learn Web design-FrontPage! I quickly started working with the program and trying to learn it, as well as going out on the Internet in search of resources to help learn more about Web design and FrontPage. With a lot of help along the way and a lot of trial and error, it is a wonderful opportunity to play a part in writing a book that offers information and resources that I was not able to find anywhere else during my quest to master FrontPage.With FrontPage 2002, you can build, manage, and maintain exciting and professional-looking Web sites without having to learn Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Now, learn FrontPage 2002 from a professional Web designer and recognized FrontPage expert-through real-world projects you can view live on a companion Web site. Start with the basic tools of creating a Web site and work your way through to advanced skill-level features, such as adding discussion boards, working live on the server, and collaborating with teams on one project over the Internet. Best of all, the projects in this book are linked to the companion Web site, where you can see each step of the project Web site in each stage of completion. It's all the guidance you'll need-every step of the way!You'll learn all this and much more!
