What I Learned
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!
