My 2 pence worth: I've never used frontpage, and any information I have on it is probably out of date, so if I say anything here that is inaccurate, please someone pick me up on it!
I would say that if your Aiden wants to learn about Internet and Web pages then you're really talking (or should be) about (x)html and css and javascript to a certain degree... in short standards based web development. I would question the value of a course that requires the use of a tool that 'writes it's own html' AFIK output from most WSIWG html 'editors' is far from ideal and in most cases you're way better off writing it yourself along with as stylesheet or two. You learn more and you know what you've got at the end of it! If Aiden wants to this course with a view to following a career in web design, then he should be familiar with xhtml and css at the very minimum... I would also say that he should learn a web framework or two (django is my choice, but turbogears, RoR and a myriad of others are available too) and some sort of scripting language (python, ruby or even *shudder* php) and javascript. If the idea of doing the course is just from the point of view of exposure to rigorous study then I guess it doesn't matter as much! I agree with pretty much all of what's been written in responses so far... and I would add that web development/programming is rife with opportunity for self study. Perhaps if the main aim of the course is to do a course, then something that doesn't have the same level of information and opportunity available through books and the internet would be a better choice..?
