Hi Frank,
There are some resources available on-line, depending on where you live you
may be able to go to classes locally, or there is Mary Sugden's PCB courses
in Santa Clara..., Some books are available. Most are out of print. Also,
PCB Design Magazine is a great resource to help you get started...and they
put on the PCB WEST and EAST shows exclusively oriented towards PCB Design.
You surely would want to get into the IPC Designers Council and affiliate
with a local chapter to get access to local training and network with other
PCB designers in your area...and they are Holding the Designers Symposiums
this week in Texas, Check out our website....  :)

Good morning

    I've been building bare boards for 18 years and would like to learn more
about PCB design, hopefully to make my job and yours a little easier. Any
suggestions on a good place to start (classes, books, online, etc.) would be
appreciated.


Thanks in advance


Frank
