Title: To give some background, I'm looking into building a Linux-based touch-screen device that I can run stuff on.<p>I have no knowledge in electrical engineering or anything of the sort. I'm primarily a web developer, trying to move away from just doing web apps. I have a bit of C knowledge, and I have a plan on how I'm going to go about doing this (prospectively.)<p>I have a hard time figuring out where to start.<p>I don't have access to a college, so I can't really take a course. With everything tech-related, the only choice I've ever had was to self-learn, so I'm looking for any textbooks or books in general that will give a crash-course on electrical engineering, PCBs, and building hardware in general.<p>I'm especially interested in Picwing's Smart Frame. They've built a Linux-based(?) hardware device with wifi and Flash (though I'm not looking into doing Flash)<p>###<p>So to pose a question: how would you suggest I get started on the path of building a touch-screen device, with no knowledge of building hardware stuff?<p>Thanks!
