I needed a quick intro to Verilog because I was making a simple demo circuit for a customer using a low-end FPGA and I needed to learn how to program it. (I am a consultant in the semiconductor field). I purchased "Verilog for Digital Design" because it seemed like it best matched my requirements, and it was by far the cheapest option on Amazon. I found it easy to read and gave me just the right amount of information. Anyone who knows some basic boolean logic should find this book accessible. I also looked at some free verilog tutorials online but I found this guide to be the most helpful.

This brief intro presents everything a budding logic designer needs to get started in Verilog. It covers all the core language features needed for a first project - the basics that will also be used again and again in more complex designs.

The reader should already know basic logic design: mapping problems to logic implementations, design of state machines, even a little processor architecture. This isn's a logic design book, it's a language book. As such, it won't stand alone as a text for a logic design class. For its purpose, though, it's a good one. I'm recommending this one, as a supplementary text, for my own class.

This book has helped me develop my knowledge of binary systems and logic. The diagrams are fairly easy to understand and the tables help to demonstrate functions. It complements the class I need it for.
