I am using this book for an introductory Verilog class at my University and I must say I am truely confused by some of the reviews here. Although this book takes the reader through the most basic elements of the Verilog language, to its more complex and esoteric uses, most people here complain that the it fails to provide the advanced, cutting-edge examples they feel it should have. What? Do you really expect to learn how to build a Pentium IV from a book teaching the basics of Verilog? Get real!This book teaches the basics, it teaches you how to use the Verilog language by providing examples that, although dated, illustrate timeless approaches that are used in every Verilog design large or small. If you can't find how to complement a variable, then its your fault, not the book; I can assure you its there. Furthermore, if you think that pointing out a few mistakes in the book, (and have obviously learnt the correct way of doing it from it), makes it rubbish, then I'm afraid there won't be any books that will fully satisfy your needs.This is one of the best books I've encountered on the Verilog langauge. Although I wouldn't say it's as good as, say, Ashendens VHDL, it is _not_ as bad as some of the reviews here make out. Recommended!

One of the best

This book is one best to learn Verilog with. Each chapter starts with an statement of the chapters objectives, then covers the topic with many examples and finally summarizes the chapter at the end. There are an series of questions at the end of each chapter that help to solidify the concepts within each chapter. (but no answers in the book). All in all I think that this is the best overall presentation of Verilog that I have read yet. Samir Palnitar's Verilog HDL is slower paced and thus better for the novice (I read this one first). This book is slightly more advanced and seems to take you further.

An honest look

The reader from Ann Arbor was unduly harsh in his review of the text. I have read the book cover-to-cover, and found it to be very instructive and helpful. Yes, the author used some devices that are antiquated in a few examples. So what!! The purpose of the text is to instruct how to write good code--and the book does exactly that. In fact, this book even helped me write good VHDL code. Give your career a boost--buy the book.

For serious programmers!

This is a great book but beginners will find it a little advanced though the author says that it is also meant for beginners. But if u cast that aside, u have winner in your hands. Every topic in this book is discussed in detail and in a thorough manner. It is a good reference to have and will add weight to your verilog collection. The only reason for its low popularity might be its price, but i think its worth it.

Consider An Unbiased Reviewer

Hiding behind the cloak of anonymity, the reviewer from Ann Arbor appears to have an axe to grind, and misrepresents the content of the book, which is loaded with fully-developed, practical, industry-tested examples and tips on modeling style and synthesis. Contrary to his/her misrepresentation, five chapters are devoted to synthesis. In addition to the Xilinx 3000 devices, which are given minor treatment, the book discusses the state-of-the-art the Xilinx 4000 series architecture in depth. Nearly half of the book addresses topics in synthesis. Solutions to the end-of-chapter problems can be verified with the Simucad Silos III simulator and Xilinx Foundation Express tools that are bundled with the book. A web site supporting the book is under development. I'm obviously biased too, so see www.sutherland.com for an objective, unbiased review by an internationally recognized industry expert.
