w/kg and FTP?

FTP and W/kg

Hello I have just two questions to being with.
1) I do not know what FTP actually is, so will someone could help me out there?
2) How can you test your ftp or w/kg if you do not have something like a powertap or cycleops?

I know some of you more financially blessed people out there have power taps and such but seeing as I am new to the sport I cannot afford these luxuries quite yet in my career. I was just wondering if there is anyway I could get my statistics tested for the start of my first race season? I would like to compare them to the end season as well as have them for a start point for next year.
