There are three principal components that we'll need to use:
  1. The Library Manager
  2. The front-end schematic tool -- DxDesigner
  3. The back-end board layout tool -- ExpeditionPCB
The tutorials should be taken in top-to-bottom order as listed in the Links pane at the left, starting with the "PCB Basics" section and then moving on to the "Glossary", found within the "Library Manager" tutorials, where often-used terms and terminology are explained.
