I want to start building my own circuit boards for various diy projects like speakers, power supplies, and power banks.

My first project I'm looking at is a power bank using a Maxim MAX1709 after a little research. Can anyone here direct me to some good beginner friendly guides on electronics? Is it okay to buy parts from aliexpress? I also have a lot of spare parts from dead computers to work with.

Does /diy/ also have advice regarding the power bank? It'll be powered by 3 3400mAh 18650s. I want it to be as efficient as possible within a reasonable budget.
