I'm getting a lot out of this one.. April 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was really good at building web sites with FrontPage ten years ago. Unfortunately, I have fallen far behind in web design. I have no idea how to use a .CSS, nor how to use simple applets, etc. After reading only a quarter of this book, I am updating my skills very quickly.
 Full Expression - Diving Into Expression Web April 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Learning Expression web has been an ordeal for me and I would not recommend Jim Cheshires book for those new to the field who want an easy introductory 'how to' guide to build a simple website. But if you want to get engaged in the remarkable possibilities that Expression Web offers then this is the book for you.
Cheshire introduces you to a multitude of complex subjects in just the manner I wish - he introduces them, gives me a sense of whats possible and usually give a few examples. That's what I need to get my toes wet - what I need to get past my fear factor.
Cheshire really focuses on ASP.NET and deservedly so. After reading this book I'm very interested in taking advantage of that technology and building an ASP.NET site but I had absolute no clue of the possibilities ASP.NET presents from the other books I read on Expression web. If you want to take full advantage of Expression Web this is the book for you. There's nothing else like it on the market.
 Provides Technical Nuts and Bolts April 11, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book based on the customer reviews. I've previously developed web sites using FrontPage then Dreamweaver. I learn best by getting a conceptual overview of the software then delving into the details of how to use it. Then I need a step by step process, in this case building a simple web site. Later chapters would expand on the simpler original site with more complex features like dynamic data being added. This book doesn't do any of the above. It describes what features are available e.g. Quick Tags and then details the options associated with the features. I'm at Chapter 13 and I still haven't read about design using CSS, templates, or master pages.
I prefer a book to teach me "best programming practices" and keep me out of the ones that get you in trouble or create a maintenance nightmare. I'll keep looking.
Web Expressions as front end for Visual Studio April 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Expression Web is a website building tool that integrates with Visual Studio 2008 and, perhaps, 2005. This makes it quite an addition for those who are involved with full-featured server/e-commerce applications in .Net. The addition of complementary packages such as Web Expressions Blend enhance its reach for the web designer. Though not well versed with other high end products such as Dreamweaver, Web Expressions appears to cover the terrain with items that are interest to most with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), more generalized Master Pages, and ASP.NET connections for the design and implementation of web content. It's a step up from FrontPage, a product that is much more painful to deal with, at least to me.
 Another Technical Manual For Expression Web - Not a Site Design Book March 26, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Once again another overburdened technical manual for Microsoft's Expression Web that was released to replace Frontpage. If you're looking for a book to help you design websites using Expression Web then look somewhere else... if you need technical answers to the nuts and bolts of how Expression Web works then this will probably do it for you.
If you're a site designer and need a book to help you design an actual attractive website using Microsoft's Expression Web... keep looking.
