Actually, it used to be called Frontpage. It was pretty workable, but if you were able to figure it out, you were probably better off just learning HTML and CSS anyway. Creating anything beyond a really basic table layout was pretty maddening, IIRC.
The typical problem with WYSIWYG webpage builders is that the web is not a printed document. If you don't know the underlying concepts of layout you expect things to behave much differently than they actually do. Or at least, that was how it was for me.
A copy of Frontpage in middle school is what got me in to programming, back in the day.
One of my earliest memories of 'coding' (It seems silly to call it that now, but hey, I was 13!) was opening the generated html files to remove the "Created with Frontpage" html comments that were automatically injected.
No it doesn't. Everyone I know with HFT industry experience that has read it (including myself) has panned it. It is possibly the worst thing you can read if you are interested in how HFT works. "Dark Pools" has it's own faults but for narrative non-fiction it is the only game in town.
