1. Effective Coding with VHDL: Principles and Best Practice (The MIT Press)
Sentiment score: 1
Number of reviews: 1
I agree but I'm not sure if it's best to start with this book.
The Student's Guide to VHDL (https://www.amazon.com/Students-Guide-VHDL-Systems-Silicon/dp/1558608656) is better as an initial introduction imho.
If your background is more SW than HW, as mine is, then you might like https://www.amazon.com/FPGA-Prototyping-VHDL-Examples-Spartan-3/dp/0470185317 . It really got the pacing, and the balance between explaining and coding right. At least for me.
BTW, no reason to pay full price for a new copy when there are plenty of used ones around in great condition.
I used this book with my Digilent Nexys 2 board (same chip as you have) and I think the pair works well together.
IMO, the best book on VHDL is this one:

When I was in school, I used this book for my Digital Design class and found it informative and easy to digest.
