Sometimes reading a book might not be the best way to learn a language. You can go search online in Yahoo or google to read other people's code and you will learn even more from there.

You may try considering these books:
1- HDL chip design.
2- VHDL made easy.
3- VHDL cookbook

tons of other books available here for free on the ebook forum, so just search for the ones with titles you find appropriate.

take it one step at a time, start by the essentials of logic design and digital design then master the VHDL language and tools for design.

pm me if anything still worries you.

Salam.

From my point of view, books are necessary but not sufficient. Only a good practice can make you masterize a VHDL. Don't negligate synthesis aspects...

books are not everything.... Books are showing way of doing certain things.. They not teaching you how to think and how make a dissision in some cases... It is all up to you what you want to to become best in some crafts, it doesn't matter either it is VHDL or fashion design.....

Good luck!

Do you have a simulator? (like modelsim, cadence etc).
If you do, write some codes and test them. The best way to learn is to practice.
When you encounter any strange/unexpected result, post your queries here.

There will be lots of experts here to help you. (--- learn from mistake and you will remember it forever).

Cheers

First get yourself a starter kit and start desiging your own chips with your logic. Then with days pass by, you will become an expert in using the IDE as well as simulation stuff...Along to this start programming using various syntax available and check your result immediatly...Learn yourself!

It all comes down to one thing..... coding in VHDL.

If you want to be the best at something you just have to work at it and gain experience. So just sit down and start writing some code and test it to see if it does what you intended for it to do.

Start simple and then work up.

Get a demo board and simulator so you can test and verify your code.

Good luck.
