[sdiy] Perfboard construction pointers

[Wooster Audio]

My friend Eric Archer is the master of perfboarding

He uses Eagle to lay out the design, doing all of the wiring on the 
bottom with very thin wires, and pad-per-hole boards.  Hes got a lot of 
cool tricks which you can see in the pictures.

I do things a little differently.  I prefer using protoboards with built 
in busses and 4-6 hole strips.  That way I don't need many wires (which 
I put on top for easier debugging) - I try to use resistors and 
capacitors to make the connections

I've learned *so* much through this process that I never learned in the electronics classes I took. It's been a fantastic education in troubleshooting, circuit layout, and in basic electronics. All of this experimentation has got me wondering, however. Am I constructing my perfboard circuits correctly? Are there some resources that talk about the proper way to make connections between components? (although my circuits work, I'm not entirely convinced that the way I'm going about making connections is the way you're supposed to do it!) Are there any particular types or brands of perf board that anyone likes better than others? (Part numbers would be greatly appreciated if you would like to share.) Thanks in advance!
