Packt The FPGA Programming Handbook - Second Edition: An essential guide to FPGA design for transforming ideas into hardware using SystemVerilog and VHDL

This is a good practical reference material. It has been written by experienced engineers. It will help the reader build his knowledge gradually. It is a useful guide for intermediate level know how development.

Excelente.

As usual with any books printed at Amazon, they are black and white for a content which makes harder to read because presents screenshots and graphics which in reality have colors. I have seen other editors, where would be much better to print these books.Otherwise, the book is great! I still not finished reading all.

The FPGA Programming Handbook is a valuable resource for intermediate learners or engineers looking to enhance their FPGA programming skills and apply them to practical projects. The book provides a solid foundation in both SystemVerilog and VHDL and guides you through the design process from concept to implementation.The book is lacking some advance topics which are crucial for intermediate to advance users. There's no project on ethernet though the targeted board has the capability. A nice project could have been data transactions between Ethernet and DDR. Also, there's no info on transceiver designs which is a requirement almost for every intermediate job. Few projects on these topics would make this a perfect Handbook.

This is not a “handbook,” nor is it a quality introduction. It’s a poorly organized book for hobbyists. If you want to dive right into meaningless tinkering with an FPGA without a good foundation, then this is your book. If you are a technical person who enjoys learning the fundamentals before anything else, stay away from this book. There are better options out there.
