FrontPage 2003 (The Missing Manual)

Book Description

In today's highly connected world, almost everybody has a web site, from local sewing circles to the world's largest corporations. If you're ready for one of your own, Microsoft's FrontPage 2003 has everything you need to create Web pages. It's true. Your geek friends may howl in contempt if you use FrontPage, but that's because the program has a reputation for spitting out cookie-cutter Web pages with messy, overloaded HTML code that takes forever to load. Not any more.

After listening to complaints, Microsoft has given FrontPage 2003 some pretty advanced features, including an HTML cleanup tool that helps alleviate bloated code, and new support for Macromedia Flash and XML. Now, savvy Web veterans can control as much of the process as they want, and even collaborate on a site with developers who use Dreamweaver, GoLive or other Web authoring tools. Yet, unlike those other tools, FrontPage 2003 still has automated features for beginners who don't know where to start.

There's still one flaw, though. Microsoft's idea of a user manual is a flimsy pamphlet. But that's easily solved. FrontPage 2003: The Missing Manual offers you everything from the basics to meaty sections on advanced tasks. Our book puts the program's features in context, with clear and thorough chapters that provide valuable shortcuts, workarounds, and just plain common sense, no matter where you weigh in on the technical scale. With it, you can learn to build simple Web pages, or sophisticated ones with tables and Cascading Style Sheets, and find out how to manage and publish a Web site. You'll also learn to create forms, work with databases, and integrate FrontPage with Microsoft Office.

If you haven't worked with Web pages before, each chapter provides "Up to Speed" sidebars with useful background information. If you do have experience, the "Power Users' Clinic" sidebars offer advanced tips and insights. You won't find tips like those in the pamphlet, or even in the Help file. FrontPage: The Missing Manual gives you the complete lowdown on the program above and beyond any book on the market.

Valuable source of information.......2007-08-26

The readability of this book is outstanding, and it facilitates the understading of what a website is, and the tools with-in Front Page which will help in the creation a basic website. After reading the first few pages of Front Page 2003 I felt confident that I had found the proper manual to assist me in developing, and eventually publishing my website. Unequivically, I highly reccomend this manual as the primary resource for utilizing Front Page 2003.

the one for me.......2007-08-25

I got FrontPage 2003(The Missing Manual) it is good from the start to the end, I knew quite a lot already because I used FrontPage for more than a year already but no book to help me in my study, I also use macromedia dreammweaver which is quite good too I use the best of both world building a wesite from both what a cannot do with one I do with the Other one I make use of the FrontPage for dynamic pages for I'm not very good at coding FrontPage does the hard work for you and save you months of hard and tedious coding and headaches.

Finally! A reference I can count on!.......2007-07-23

I love the series The Missing Manual. I never really cared for FrontPage 2003 for some reason so I always created my websites on Dreamweaver. Once Microsoft came out with FrontPage 2003, I decided to give it a shot. I looked around for some books to help me and found that nothing was really that spactacular. Then I came across the Missing Manual Frontpage 2003. I looked up up online and read each review before I went to the bookstore to check it out. I bought the book and I am glad that I did. This is defintaly the best book on the market for Frontpage 2003.

Best manual for FrontPage 2003.......2007-05-14

After borrowing from the library several different books on FrontPage 2003 I finally stumbled on this book to help me make sense of the software. It is by far the most thorough and helpful book I have found. Ms Mantaro does an excellent job of explaining the "how to" of most tasks required to build a website with FrontPage 2003.

Great Book for Begginers to Pros.......2007-05-03

This book covered everything very nicely while starting as if you knew nothing, which I didn't. I was able to learn Frontpage quickly and get two websites up and running in a few months. What else do you need to know?

Book Description

Offices, as a category of building, have undergone dramatic changes in the last few years. Increasing economic globalization, new information and communication technologies, and ecological considerations are all making demands on a branch of architecture which for nearly a century had been marked by the construction norms and standards, and the requirements of office organisation. These old solutions are, however, no longer viable for many modern companies, where flexibility and mobility determine the working day of the new office nomads. With some 70 international examples (including projects from Norman Foster, Frank O. Gehry, Thomas Herzog, Morphosis MVRDV, Renzo Piano, SOM), the authors and editors show how the new issues facing architects can be resolved. Thematic contributions by experts in various disciplines discuss topics such as models of work organisation, façade technology, climatic regulation, lighting etc. This volume is a crucial standard work in the design of offices.

Book Description

What constitutes a high-rise building? A high-rise is, in fact, any building with more than 9 storeys and not just those striking skyscrapers which shape modern city skylines. In the past architects who designed such structures used to be the exception but in the last 10 years more and more architectural offices have begun to focus on this type of building. However, the sheer complexity of designing and planning the construction of a high-rise as opposed to other building types requires a wealth of specialized experience and expertise. The High-Rise Manual is the first comprehensive reference work on this subject. All relevant aspects of such an undertaking are examined in detail by some 24 specialist authors. Each step is extensively documented including the initial project planning, the building organisation, the laying of the foundations, the supporting structure, the building technology, the office design, and the Facility Management. Theoretical contributions present the basic principles of select

This book features great technical information and is very thorough. I was hoping for a few more floor plans showing the design of cores and their relation to floor plates. Nevertheless, very useful to have.

A friend purchased this book for me one Christmas. As a facilities consultant with several projects a year relocating commercial organisations, it's probably the most useful book I've had the pleasure to use - the forms are comprehensive and can be adapted for specific requirements. A worthwhile buy for anyone in this field.

Beyond the basics, but still great for beginners.......2000-03-27

Of all the books on silk painting, (and I've looked at most of them,) this one is unique in the way it gives the reader tips on working with different types of dyes and ideas on how to fix the snags you will inevitably run into. In addition, it offers innovative approaches to mounting and stretching the silk. Details on various techniques, which are often glossed over or summarized with too little detail in other books, are plentiful here. This book doesn't skimp on the colorful and inspiring examples of artist's work either. A must for any artist seriously investigating the medium.

Book Description

This first official guide to Philadelphia architecture will prove indispensable to visitors, residents, and professionals. The core of the guide is a catalog of 250 buildings representing a broad range of building types and architectural styles. The building entries are divided into three chronological sections: 1682-1820; 1821-1900; 1900-1983. Each entry gives the name, date, location, and architect as well as information about the client, events related to the building, its use and major architectural features. The descriptions show how the buildings fit into the social and economic history of the city as well as how they relate to the evolution of architectural styles. One hundred and forty buildings are illustrated with photographs.

Each chronological section is introduced by an essay which describes the physical, social, and economic growth of the city, thereby placing the buildings in a broader context. These essays are illustrated by maps and decorative arts representative of the period. There is an illustrated glossary of architectural terms and biographies of the most important Philadelphia architects.

The guide also contains nine walking and driving tours with four-color maps of areas with significant concentrations of important buildings, and cross-referenced to the building entries. Places of interest in the city and region such as the Italian Market, Longwood Gardens, and The Philadelphia Zoo are highlighted. A reference section (places to get information about architecture, tours and the like) and an index conclude this handy, informative book.

Philadelphia Architecture is copublished with The Foundation for Architecture, a non-profit organization affiliated with the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute for Architects.

Covers the highlights, but far too small.......2000-09-12

This is the foremost guide book to Philadelphia's buildings; unfortunately, anyone who knows the city well will find it woefully incomplete.

The guide covers Center City, University City and its surrounding neighborhoods, Fairmount Park, Germantown, and Chestnut Hill in good detail (over 200 of the 253 entries are in these areas.) Each entry includes considerable text, and most (though not all) have a corresponding photograph; the most significant buildings have longer entries. The touring maps included in the back are clear and easy to read. One of the book's nicest features is a repeated map of the city's current boundaries, with shaded areas showing the spread of development as the city aged, allowing one to quickly understand the patterns of settlement that produced the present-day city.

Oddly, the building entries are ordered not by location, but by date of construction, from oldest to newest. This, combined with an on-going time line and essays on the city's development and architectural styles of the various periods, make the book more of an introduction to American architectural styles, using Philadelphia as an example, rather than a neighborhood-by-neighborhood survey of the city's buildings. The format makes the book more difficult to use as a field guide than would arrangement of entries by location.

The book's two major flaws are interrelated: it is too thin, and it omits far too many areas of the city. Bridesburg, North Broadway, Kensington, Erie Avenue, and many other neighborhoods which contain many historically and architecturally significant buildings are given few, if any, entries. There are a paltry two entries for all of South Philadelphia. Including more thorough surveys of these and other areas of the city would give the book much-needed volume (it is far too short for a city's of Philadelphia's size and stature.)

Interestingly, many of the omitted areas correspond to the city's worst slums, particularly those in north Philadelphia. Perhaps not coincidentally, there is also a lack of any critical tone in the building entries. These two factors combine to give a subtle tone of civic boosterism, something that an architectural guidebook should not have. The authors would do well to look to New York's guidebook, which is not afraid to call bad architecture on the floor, and does not fear to guide travelers into the more unsavory parts of town.

Also lacking are represenative samples of vernacular rowhouse architecture. Philadelphia is defined by the rowhouse -- thousands upon thousands of them, stretching for mile after mile, so many of them that the detached buildings showcased in the guide seem like anomalies. They range from the utterly plain to among the city's finest houses; yet hardly any examples are given. A sampling of rowhouse styles and a few typical histories would definately make the guide more informative.

In short, this guidebook is a strong introduction to Philadelphia's major buildings and most significant neighborhoods. But take it with a grain of salt: it omits vast areas of the city as well.
