The HDL Book Sellers

 

Anyone have this book? How do you like it? I think the "regular" price
is a bit absurd, but the $52 price seems typical for a VHDL book. I
know that Ben Cohen is an expert at VHDL and helped write the standard.
But I don't know if his books are good.

I bought Ben Cohen's book, from HDL Book Seller too. I was happy with
HDL's price and shipping.

Ben Cohen's book has loads of good stuff, such as synthesizable vs.
non-synthesiziable coding suggestions, the "rules" and syntax of VHDL
and so on. Also he has "homework" problems.

I only have 2 complaints about the book. First I have found (and I'm
sorry I don't have the book at my desk to give specific pages) that
there will be a footnote number given in the text but NO FOOTNOTE at
the bottom of the page or on near-by pages. Second, I feel the book
could benefit from a redesign of the layout and graphics. For some
reason, the combination of fonts, spacing and layout makes some pages
very hard to read. That may just be me developing Adult Attention
Deficit Disorder, but it just doesn't "flow" well in places.

Otherwise, between Ben's book (more recent and with good practical
advice for simulation and synthesis) and Kevin Skahill's book (older,
so some of the VHDL syntax is a bit dated) I think I finally have a
grasp on VHDL.
