Expression Web Learning Experience

REVIEW:
Well, let's just say going through the book, "Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Expression Web 4 in 24 Hours" was quite a journey. Most the book was spot on, some was off enough that if you didn't know how to 'fix' it, you'd be stumped. Some chapters towards the end stumped me for a day or two, and was very discouraging. The site the author has to go along with the book should be updated to reflect these discrepancies. I would have documented them, but it was all I could do to get through it.
The book in general was a good way to get the basics. So in that respect it was definitely useful and helpful. I'll document the problems as I 're~find' them, and post them. I'll even use it as a guide to actually build my own website, but will also use the microsoft site with many useful tutorials, and other sites I've found with helpful information. I'll probably even make a section on my website for this information, as well.

Yay! I'm almost done!

Expression Web 4 is not for the faint of heart...there is sooo much to learn! I am so excited, I'm almost done with my book, but not even close to actually making the site of my dreams. That will take so much time to finally get a web site up and running, but it'll be so worth it. I'm actually on Chapter 20, of 25 chapters...so definitely, this coming week, I'll be done with the book, and on to a web full of ebooks & tutorials! :P
