This book provides a gentle introduction to PCB design with the RP2040 microcontroller chip (the same chip that powers Raspberry Pi Pico). You'll learn how to create a schematic for a microcontroller board with the RP2040, assign schematic symbols, create a footprint for components, and then move on to laying out the PCB design and get it made!
