Does anyone know of any good books or courses online that teach you proper PCB layout techniques. I have picked up layout on the fly and I get the job done but as my designs move toward being rolled out and manufactured on a larger scale I am want to improve. Normally I don't think too much about it because I hand solder most of my own prototypes and as long as I get the job done then things are good. In past comments on this forum people have talked about having properly designed footprints and how improper footprints can lead to manufacturing problems. I am not aware of those issues so I would like to get a book that provides some good rules of thumb. Not just footprints but other things too. For example suggested power trace sizes for current ratings or any handy rules. I am not looking to crunch some equations, I just want to improve my skills. ~Trentinto
