Was sharing this book with my workmate. Found it pretty useful. I think its a great reference book to have. It has + A great Index. + Good examples. + Been written by the masters of Verilog. - A lot of words (ie some people might find it very 'wordy')
Every ASIC/FPGA designer I know has this one in there shelf. So go for it.
Could be great book, but shows too many deficiencies
Rating: 2/5
This book should be used only by the experienced users that can filter out problematic sections. Major problems: - first chapter, "recommended" by authors for university courses, is extremely chaotic (begin..end blocks are called loops, exercises ask you to use loops before introducing them, etc.) - cover of the latest edition claims coverage of the latest Verilog standard - unfortunately it is very poor coverage: new interesting features such as libraries and configurations are not mentioned at all! - I had to work hard during many trainings to correct bad coding styles showing in students reading this book as their first Verilog publication - the book is grossly overpriced...
Main advantage: - good set of examples
Read This First Before Coding in Verilog
Rating: 5/5
The claim that this book has become the standard for learning Verilog is true. I use Verilog a lot but I still wish I had read this book before writing Verilog codes.
