Hey, i'm new to the concept of vlan and vtp.

I'm triyng to understand its uses and limitations, cause I'm working on my networking classes practices.

Now here's what I'm tring to do and where I'm stuck:

I'm wondering how (or even i it is possible) to manage wich ports of VTP client switches are assigned to a particular VLAN. I mean, let's suppose I have 3 VLAN in server switch, and a bunch of VTP client switches, and I want to assign port a, b, c from client 1 to VLAN 1 and ports p,q,r to VLAN 3; then in client 2 configure ports i,j to vlan 1 and x, y to VLAN 2, and so on...

Is that possible?, how do I make that port (or port range) "X" in switch "A" to VLAN "W" assignment?

VTP allows you to define VLANs on a server switch and have the client switches learn about the new VLAN dynamically. VTP does not assign ports to VLANs. You still need to go to the individual switch to do that.
