It 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.

This book is broken down into fairly logical sections and steps that can be used to create a Web site using Microsoft FrontPage 2002, from the introduction of what is new in FrontPage 2002 and installation of the software in Chapter 1 through the complete publishing process of your completed Web site and advanced features in the final chapters.
The first two chapters focus on becoming familiar with the software's interface and some of the tools used for planning and laying out a good foundation for your Web site. The next two chapters walk you through adding FrontPage components and functionality to your Web site, starting with some simple forms and working through examples and tasks to create advanced features, such as discussion webs and DHTML effects. In Chapter 5, we discuss and walk through the process of publishing your Web site pages to a remote server using the FrontPage publish feature, as well as using file transfer protocol (FTP) as an alternative method of publishing. The final chapters in this book cover the most advanced topics, such as collaborating on team projects, connecting to a remote copy of a Web site, database connectivity, and Personal Web Server (PWS).
Each chapter starts with a task, which addresses what we will be learning in the chapter, and ends with a set of advanced project steps to try. The book walks you through the creation and completion of the "Shelley Biotechnologies" Web site and has an accompanying Web site that includes additional files used in the book, images used in the examples throughout the book (which are available for download), and errata.
