Assalamo alaykum,
A friend of mine is in need of FREE MS FrontPage tutorials. She needs to learn it, so that she can build a website for her business where she will have pictures of her product as well as a payment method, such as Paypal.
Thanks.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
If she needs frontpage tutorials she may have some trouble with paypal integration. Its not too hard though so hopefully she`ll be ok.
A quick search on google reveals the following…
She should probably read the HTML tutorials on www.w3schools.com as they will come in handy.

Frontpage 
Dreamweaver :k:
Learning all this is not a matter of seconds. You will face many difficulties. I suggest to use readymade script like e-pay pal shop etc. Easy setup, complete website and simple to maintain.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
I have some (dont know how good they are) tutorials ... if u need PM me ur email & I'll mail them to u.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
Actually some of paypal’s stuff is really easy. For example you can follow their step by step instructions, enter some values in a form and it will give you the code for a BuyNow button which you copypaste in the right location
You dont really NEED to buy any readymade script, infact if she doesnt know html she`ll have a tough time configuring the scripts.
But yeah, html is the pre-requisite here, Frontpage is generally more newbie friendly (though ultimately thats its downfall compared to dreamweaver) and much more forgiving and thus more suitable to complete beginners. However frontpage users tend to stay in the complete beginner stage for a long time, if not forever.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
Maniac, I've always found FrontPage a lot easier to use. Personally, I've never liked Dreamweaver much. It has never appealed much to me.
How exactly does it have an edge over FrontPage?
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
Code generation, Dreamweaver produces more standards complient and cleaner code. Thus it is less forgiving of errors in your code. It even has an option to clean up code generated by Microsoft word :D Plus its less obstructive.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
I would suggest for your friend to pay a pal (:)) and get it done. If you are putting up on internet shop there are other security checks to consider.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
There also some free scripts available. They are alot easier to manage through admincp. You can do all things by few clicks.
Yes, Frontpage is fine for a beginner. Frontpage would be the easiest to use. Its Ideal for HTML website.
Dreamweaver is good when you want to use a Database. You can use coding such as HTML, ASP or PHP should you wish. If possible try to stick with Dreamweaver. As your skills develop you can do a lot more with it.
And it’s not about the software you use. It’s about what you know. Did you learned html/css/cml/php/sql ? Ok , go to the next step and create a website in notepad. Didn’t learned them ? Uninstall Dreamweaver, Frontpage and go learn html/css/xml/php/sql. You can’t do things without understanding what they mean
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
This thread has a URL for a site with really good tutorials:

I think it covers both Frontpage and Dreamweaver
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
I dont understand this mentality, though i encounter it everyday.
I hear hardcore coders, or wannabe hardcore coders saying they code in notepad. Why ? why not make use of the benefits an IDE provides. Many ideas such as Dreamweaver work perfectly well as text editors and provide a wealth of features such as proper indenting and colorcoding to make it more visually easy to understand your own code. To deny yourself that is basically making your own work harder for you.
Oh well, to each his own. I`d rather use IDE’s anyday over plain old notepad.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
First IDE is a hardware standard (as in hard-drives :p)
One can do all the designing in FrontPage and Dreamweaver, but when it comes down to nitty-gritty stuff you have to open up a text editor (notepad being one of them) to get your code to perfection.
Even professionals, whose next meal depend on webdev use text editors.
Re: MS FrontPage tutorials needed
IDE = integrated development environment. Yes i know its a hardware standard too :)
And you dont need to DESIGN the page in dreamweaver. I never do any designing in dreamweaver, i get the nitty gritty stuff done in ITS text editor which displays the code in an easy to understand formatted and colorcoded way.
I still dont have an answer on why one should rather use notepad compared to an IDE. Personally i find it rather dinosaurish. Like my professor who still logs on to linux shell and uses VE instead of opening notepad to write a note.
