I'm making headway learning eagle. It's actually quite a pleasant program to use and logically laid out. I've learned to make components. Next is to get the nets stubbed so i don't have a rats nest on the schematic. If anyone can point me toward something that tells me guidelines or steps for that, I would be grateful.

I started in fritzing until Benchoff soundly beat that out of me with his create a pcb in everything series. I have to say that the breadboard -> schematic features of fritzing is nice but perhaps unnecessary as I get more experience laying boards and circuits out.
