Review: Just what I was looking for - 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).
Review: Great for getting started with Verilog - Verilog is a rich and powerful hardware description language. Translation: it's easy to get flummoxed trying to figure out what is important. The author states that this is the book he wished he had when he started using Verilog, and I see why. It is a simple, step-by-step introduction to the language that takes you from defining your first module - the hardware equivalent of "Hello World" - through the basics of test benches. Not an exhaustive pedagogical treatment by any means, but well worth the investment if you are a student or practitioner that needs to get up to speed with the language quickly. Especially if, like me, you learn best through examples. I would really like to see if he has a "Part 2" with more advanced concepts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a pleasureable read
*by J***1 on February 26, 2016*

I really like this book. Such a joy to read from time to time. It has digestible examples, covering a few pages, so you can consume them one at a time, look at the code, read the explanation, and take a breaks in between. I have never programmed FPGA. I've been trained for, and worked with conventional programming languages for over 20 years. This book did have some EE thinking, which gave me a chuckle, but nothing distracting. The author didn't need to explain why arrays start at 0, and go to n-1 for example. This book let me see what FPGA is about without getting in too deep. I have other texts and loose interest after a few pages because they are too advanced, but this one is written so you can read it from time to time at your leisure.
