Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Developed my skills in PCB design, layout and routing. Only had very little previous experience in this prior to the placement and only with very simple designs and boards. Have now spent far more time working with complicated designs to give me much more confidence in this area.
