Summary: Sunburst Design Book Review
Review: The book was great actually earning 3-1/2 out of 5 stars (the examples need to be debugged, tested and put online to merit 4 stars - I disagree with too many of the coding and methodology recommendations to award 5 stars). In my opinion, because the code examples are not full, because the code is not fully tested, and because not all examples are written in both Verilog and VHDL, the book is geared more to advanced users who can extrapolate the missing information and identify the mistakes in the code. The book will be best understood by experienced engineers who know both languages so that they can extract all of the relevant points. I disagree with a number of Janick's recommendations. A full review of this book is available on the sunburst-design web site.This is the first technical book that I have read from cover-to-cover (minus a couple of the larger VHDL examples). I picked up a few techniques and tricks that I had not thought of before and that I intend to use. Although I may appear to be overly critical of Janick in my full review, I only do in-depth critiques of books that I deem worthy of recommending. Nice job, Janick!
