Layout Question -- need good reference material

Anybody know of a real good online source for PCB layout design tips and hints, etc?

I'm still a little new to the game of PCB Layout, so I'm looking for something I can read that tells you the general guidelines for keeping things quiet on a PCB, best way to deal with ground planes etc.

Here's a tutorial that someone put on this forum. There's a website on the forum that leads to the tutorial. Also read the whole forum cuz there were some people that made suggestions. https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/are-there-any-good-webshops-for-electronics.8988/

Thanks...but I get my boards produced at a board house after I lay them out on computer. If you can spend a few bucks, you can get production quality 4-layer boards produced. If you're ever interested in getting real PCB's made try this site: www.expresspcb.com

I have a project coming up that requires the quietest possible layout. By quiet I mean electrically quiet: nice big ground plane, shortest traces possible, etc. I was wondering if someone had design tips to achieve those sorts of things.
