10 things you should know about Microsoft Expression Web

1: Expression Web replaces FrontPage in Microsoft’s lineup, but it fits into a different slot

2: Unlike FrontPage, Expression Web purposely generates standard, valid HTML and CSS by default

3: Expression Web is competent of working with ASP.NET files, but it can’t work with the code-behind files

4: The rest of the Expression suite covers the view that Expression Web doesn’t

5: Like FrontPage, Expression Web provides a good number of tools for reporting against the site that you’re working on

6: One sign of the former Office integration is the use of the spell checker, something which will most likely never appear in Visual Studio

7: Expression Web contains three important and useful validators

8: If you want the functionality of the Master Page system without using ASP.NET, Expression Web has a Dynamic Web Template system

9: Expression Web hooks into the Microsoft Script Editor, which provides debugging tools for client-side scripting

10: Microsoft is currently offering a 60 day free trial of Expression Web
