Book Review: Expression Web 4 Dummies
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the Dummies series so I expected to like it. It provided an easy format for me to learn Expression Web. Good bookBook Review: Microsoft Expression Web For Dummies
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Book Review: On time

The book was clean and arrived very quickly, I was hoping for a little more detail in the content of the bookBook Review: Very detailed...very frustrating
Summary: 2 Stars
Expression Web for Dummies is not the book for you if you want a quick overview of the program, or a tutorial that will get a website up and running quickly. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew what I wanted out of a guide: I wanted to be able to pick up the book and put up a website within an hour or so. I've read 5 chapters so far, and I haven't even started to cover inserting photos. I'm sure the information is all there; it's just not organized the way that I'd like it. Personally, I would much rather have a step-by-step tutorial that gets your first website up and running, and THEN goes in-depth on how to go about every little thing. I have a feeling Expression Web for Dummies will be a wonderful reference once I've learned the program on my own.Book Review: I was a dummy for buying this
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
