This review is from: Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies (Paperback)

Unfortunately this book was hurried to print, so cross references to other chapters are incorrect (or the chapter may not even be there) and index references are inaccurate. As a user of Front Page, I hoped that I would be led to understand what to do to adapt my old webs to the new program. I found this book unhelpful for this purpose.

I was a dummy for buying this, March 13, 2008

This review is from: Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies (Paperback)

I really was hoping that I could cobble together an actual website after reading this, but no. As another reviewer said, it’s a mix of the extremely simple and the very complex. There’s no in between for someone like me who has created websites in Front Page and other such applications and would like to to the same in Expressions Web. Alas, there is no bridge from one to the other in this book.

Maybe, after I go out an buy another book that tells me how to use the application I can go back to this one and cull some good tips out of some of the chapters on CSS. I thought that the Dummies series was supposed to have that entry-level book, but I thought wrong.

Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies, August 30, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies (Paperback)

Useful, but far from the best of its type as it falls between two stools. There is much very simple information for example on fonts and colours (for Dummies), and other sections such as that on CSS styles nearly impossible to grasp. There is no mention of frames, little on usability (as opposed to the needs of the handicaped) and virtually none on the difference between Expression and the earlier versions of FrontPage. Everyone will have his or her own needs but this book is uneven in its coverage and does not always reflect what actually happens when you try to use a feature, such as dynamic templates.
