I believe I understand the ideas behind Verilog. I see the problem rather in the fact that there are few tutorials available that lead you from beginner to decent "Verilog programmer". The problem begins already in the fact which FPGA board to buy, how to setup and use the environment, what software is freely available, how much does the code depend on the specific board, how to debug the code etc. For programming there is good material for this available, but not for VHDL/Verilog.
