I have learned many things from the CTAP Program. First, I learned what FTP means. Sometimes I would spend numerous hours working on my web pages and then proceed to FTP my work and nothing would be changed from the local to the remote system. Lots of frustration with FTP. Next, I learned how to copy and paste from page to page & to my power point presentation. Why retypewhen its already there! I learned how to insert links and web resources to my work. And finally, I learned that creating web pages was easier than I thought!
