VHDL By Example: Fundamentals of Digital Design

Great example of well done didactic material, introducing new concepts incrementally, in a non-convoluted language. Can be well understood as a beginner without prior exposure to engineering but is likewise informative and easy to read for hard boiled HW-engineers with lots of details and best practices. Contains numerous examples from basic components up to a complete processor interpreting Forth Core code. Has a fairly good glossary for reference, but could be a bit better. Would love to have this book as hardcover.
