A good book for beginners, coming from Microsoft's Frontpage. Expression Web replaces Frontpage. This is one of the earlier books put out to coincide with Microsoft's outing of Expression Web. There was a error with the sample files that was referenced in this book (downloaded from the publisher's website), they didn't jive with what was called for in the book examples. The publisher says that problem has been fixed. Has step by step instructions that let you "try it out", good graphics
