Wow! Perfect guys!! That's much more better that i can see in my
dreams :-)
Thanks a lot!
We've already got the orange training book from Cadence, but for the
time being i don't have enough time before starting my first SKILL
project in PDKs that will last for 4 months :-(
They plan to push me to an advanced SKILL course after that, unless
you guys made me expert :-)
Riad, how're you, i would like to say thanks particularly to you ;-)
I would appreciate if you can come up with the circuit building and
simulation examples asap.
Best regards,
Ahmad
