Woah this looks seriously invaluable for a beginner. I studied CompE and ended up going the software route. I am now just coming back to electronics with the hopes of combining my software knowledge with hardware to build useful consumer electronics.

It's people like you, Dave Jones, bunnie, and folks at adafruit that make this stuff accessible and feel approachable . YouTube University is real. Thanks man.

For me it's more about creating something that I can touch and projects that have an end. Electronics and PCBs in particular just happen to be really interesting to me.

But other than that I can only agree with your comment.
