First of all I would like to thank Robert for such an excellent tutorial. It helps anyone who doesn't have any experience in this field like me. This step by step tutorial helped me a lot to get confidence about PCB layout design process from scratch. Although, I faced some problem because of the AD version but it is manageable. sometimes he explained about some theories/reasons where needed, he did some mistakes intentionally which are explained later so that we can understand it properly. In short, excellent course, amazing instructor. I wish you all the best.
