Query: You won't learn much from this overpriced, out of date book.

First, it does not teach you VHDL as you would expect. As others have commented, it never gets down to brass tacks an explains how the VHDL language works.Also, the software it describes is WAY WAY out of date. To the point of useless.While the author is knowledgeable in the subject, he needs to hire a ghost writer and actually try the book on real students. He would be in for a shock if it was a fair test.I feel sorry for you were forced to buy the book for a class.There are MUCH better books available, at a much better price.BTW I have found used copies for as little as 3 dollars. Search on the ISBN to find them.
