Where should I start learning PCB design?
Any good references and books...or commnets, please.
How about this book?
Complete PCB Design Using OrCad Capture and Layout (By Kraig Mitzner)
The reviews on this book are good. What do you think?
I was first planning to buy this book, but what makes me hesitate buying this book is the review as well.
"It is an excellent book to introduce new users to Orcad Capture and the Orcad Layout SW packages. It does NOT cover Orcad PCB Editor which is completely different from Orcad Layout. (Layout has a very similar user interface to Capture while PCB Editor is based on Cadence Allegro PCB layout package)
"
I don't know the tools on PCB. So, let me ask something.
If I design a PCB, should I use PCB editor? As the review said, the book is not on PCB editor, but layout. What's difference? Orcad layout does not indicate silicon chip layout, or does it?
What's the best ...or most common..or most preferrable PCB design tool for PCB engineers?
thank you for your valuable comments.
