Verilog by Example: A Concise Introduction for FPGA Design

This is a great little book as a starter for someone learning Verilog for the first time. (like me) Have also looked at a couple of other introductory volumes and this is the best. An easy relaxed style that doesn't try to overload you and isn't to dry, yet seems to cover all the basics. Enough to begin building basic circuits for FPGA and so on.. A5 folio size nice and handy and easy to carry as well. - Recommended.

This is the best introductory book on Verilog. If you want to learn Verilog the easiest way then go buy it. You will not be disappointed. Of course this is just a primer and mainly fouces on design aspects of verilog not on verification/testing. This book is even better than tutorials on this subject can be found on the internet.I highly recommend it.

This is a very slim volume that seems to cover the basics of Verilog - a language I had no experience of until reading this book. It was enough to get me started to the point of being able to generate counters, timers, FIFOs and UARTS and link them to an off-the-shelf RISC-V CPU and make it all work. I can recommend it if you want to start learning Verilog but I suspect that to go much further you will need more comprehensive material.

Good introduction with enough information to explain some things I hadn't been able to understand from other sources.

Impressed by the simplicity and structure of the book. I would have preferred more detail into testbenches of verilog.

OK starter book for Verilog.

Great little book, plenty of examples, well-written. It's the best of my books on Verilog.

havent read it yet really.... as expected

Provides both examples, explanation as well as practical tips. Dictates a fast pace and does not take the reader an idiot. It's a very good book for people with existing programming experience.

This is the best book to learn FPGAs, in this book the author makes use of his linguistic resources to write in good English and explains the concepts with mastery. Other authors need 500 pages to explain what Mr. Readler explains in just 100 pages. In this book, each line or paragraph explains or teaches something important. I wish I could have a 500-page book on verilog by the same author. I admire him. Thank you for sharing part of your mastery in the world of FPGAs.

Ce livre aborde de façon simple les principes du verilog. Il se lit facilement pour peu que l'on ai un bagage minimum en anglais technique. L'auteur illustre ses exemples de façon clair et aborde un large panel de cas sans toute fois rentrer trop dans les détails. Je suis novice, donc je ne sais pas dire si c'est un excellent ouvrage ou pas, mais il permet de donner confiance et de vouloir se lancer. En cas de question je serais ravi de vous répondre si vous ne trouvez pas la réponse dans la description. Le partage d'expérience est pour moi essentiel et fait la force du commerce en ligne (entre autre).

I'm not one who feels like a technical book has to be 500 pages to be of value. In fact the larger the book the more skeptical I am that it will do a good job of providing the information I'm looking for. I'm a software engineer who dabbled with Verilog/FPGA a decade ago, went on to other things, and is now returning to it and wanting a refresher. Back then I had to buy (and still own) large digital logic design textbooks to get the most basic practical information about designing for FPGA. This time around and by now I was hoping there would be some materials targeted towards people like me who just want the distilled fundamentals but a few grades above Verilog For Dummies. I found it in this book. A "concise introduction to Verilog by example" was music to my ears and in my opinion the book delivers just that. It's the straight dope without hand-holding with what I believe is a very good presentation. I think the text-diagram-example pacing is near perfect and I appreciate that the diagrams are also concise and meaningful unlike so many other mass media technical books where they are space filler. I also appreciate how the code examples directly reinforce the text and diagrams. In short, I think this is a well-crafted little book that was not more or less than what I was expecting and WELL worth the $20. It will have a permanent home on my shelf with my other favorite little books (the Effectives, the Makes, K&R C, Forrest Mims, etc).

Very well-developed introduction to Verilog, getting the reader fluent in reading and understanding existing documents very quickly. Also, the book was good value. The book will be an excellent reference book for the future.
