As our electronics do more for us, we must do more to integrate the functions into higher density designs

PCB design has a lot of heads down work but now and then, we should come up for air and to share information.

Modern electronics are far too complex to create without a strong set of rules to keep the design on track.

The pioneers of the modern age are well known, but they stand on the shoulders of giants

A career in PCB design can be rewarding for the right person. There is room for pride but not for ego.

Failing to plan is the same as planning to fail.

A PCB is only as good as the underlying library. Your vendors want you to succeed so they provide the information you need.

PCB design hinges on a placement that allows clean routing. The two functions go hand in hand.
