COURSE OUTLINE FOR WEB DESIGN CLASS (FrontPage)
Class taught by Alan Weaver     email:  info @ big-pic.net

FrontPage 2002 is being taught in the classroom.  Although it has been upgraded to 2003 by Microsoft, all of the concepts in this class will work with newer versions of the software.  You can still buy version 2003 (possibly version 2002 on Ebay).  In 2007, they introduced Expression to compete with Dreamweaver.  Although it has significant enhancements over 2002/2003; the core skills of this course can readily be applied to any upgrade. 

For this program to work successfully, it is recommended that your home computer have Windows 2000 or XP.
