my way:

download altera's free software, maxplus2 or quartus2. there are some tutorial within those software.

follow the tutorial step by step. the tutorial in the software is the best teacher.

need not read some textbooks in the first days.

HDL language is just RTL representation of digital logic circuits, If you are familiar with digital design, you can refer to tutorials or books for HDL description on the function blocks or modules. I mean, actually, there is no easy way to follow if you are not acquainted with digital design at all.

If you are very familiar with digital circuit, the VHDL is nothing. But if you do not understand digital circuit, you could not do any design even you read a lot of VHDL books.

As far as digital design is concerned, u can try "Digital Design, Principles & Practices" - Wakerly.

in the book has sample vhdl & abel codes.

OK, then apart from the software, what's the hardware tools that I need to prepare?

i think you should focus on digital circuit course, it's fundermental and critical. then you can buy a FPGA development kit and take practice.
