Hey there! I've been working in electrical maintenance for years and I'm really comfortable with relay logic, but I want to make the jump to industrial automation and PLC programming. The problem is, I'm not sure where to start - there's so much information out there and I don't want to waste time on the wrong path. What's the most effective way to bridge this gap and build the skills I need for modern automation systems?
