Training Tutorial for Microsoft Expression Web 2.0
Expression Web is a Web page builder and editor offered by the Microsoft corporation. It is the successor to its older program Frontpage. Expression Web was created to compete more directly with the major player in the field, Dreamweaver. It has many of the same functions, including layers. Creating a basic Web page in Expression Web is not very difficult and can be done quite quickly.
