References/Text Books or Courses 1

[Mstrvb19]

Hello all,
I am somewhat of a newcomer to the circuits world. I have a good understanding of electronics and theory, but absolutely no experience with layout. Does anyone have a suggestion for standards, textbooks, online courses , etc., at which I can pick up some of the fundamental layout rules? Thanks in advance!
