my 2 cents in this discussion topic of backend E-learning/book.
Lots and lots of effort has been taken to understand the Realtime design issues in terms of front end and backend...
Surely will be beneficial.
Starting From what is ASIC design,
Architectural discussions,
Front end Designing
Verification Modeling
Implementation challenges or backend Design Challenges...
