Excellent Introduction to VHDL

This book is an excellent introduction to VHDL. It covers a wide array of basic commands as well as their benefits and short-comings. It also covers more powerful commands which are good for large projects or creating reusable pieces. It also comes with a rather old program and examples that go along with the text of the book. Definitely a must have for anyone just getting into VHDL.

Very good introduction

This is an excellent book to get you started on VHDL design for PLD or FPGA. It is clear and practical.

Great Introduction and reference

A great reference that not only explains VHDL, but how it relates to programmable logic. Very good as an introduction to the subject of PLDs in general.

This book is a great hands-on VHDL design tool.

Kevin Skahill provides plenty of VHDL design examples in this book by supplying development software and actual "breakout exercises" that are sprinkled throughout the text. Surprisingly, he describes FPGA internals in a fairly objective manner by comparing architectures of major FPGA vendors other than Cypress.

Very competent text with lots of examples.

This is a good book with everything needed to get started programming in VHDL. The software included, Warp, is excellent. It contains a full-blown suite of tools to compile, debug, simulate, and place and route any of your programmable logic designs.
