Generate gerber files are not shown and how to make the curved shaped board are need to explain

By B. Marc on 3/20/2025

super lesson many many thanks , just put music in backgrond away it is too repetitiv and disturbing

By Sooraj SS on 11/28/2024

it was good, but the background music need to be avoided.

Excellent course!

By Henri Busch on 5/12/2023

Good to get started with Altium Designer :)

By Abid Ali on 12/15/2022

No prior information about the course. No proper design flow. Directly explained the projects. No topics are explained in detail. I am confused. Section 2 is unwanted and that too incomplete video.
