Rating: Summary: Good, but I think Moorby and Thomas is better Review: This is a popular book and it does the job well, but I think the Verilog text by Moorby and Thomas is better. These two authors were involved with the development of the language, one teaches at CMU. I'd rather learn the difficult parts of the language (timing, for example) from someone who knows whats going on at the lower levels and someone with teaching experience. I mention these facts because I think the difference shows in this text. The formatting, grammar, language is good but not polished. I really don't understand why the Moorby and Thomas book is not more popular, marketing I suppose.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Intruduction to Verilog! Review: This is perhaps the best book to Verilog for those who are new to the language. There are certain aspects of the book that are very applicable to real life situations (chapter 2). It is a very well written book! Yes it is sometimes very basic, but it is intended to be that way. If you are looking for an advanced book, this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for a very good foundation to this wonderful HDL language, this is it!
Rating: Summary: A useful handy reference Review: Verilog is my preference in coding HDL. This book is detailed enough for a beginner, and helps the more experienced, as a organized, quick handy reference book. It doesn't go into much gory details in examples, which i feel is helpful. It lacks detail in coding techniques for synthesis. The PLI topics are just breezed through. In general a good guide in Verilog.
