The books by Pong Chu are really good. You can choose either VHDL or Verilog and then the FPGA you are getting started with. I went through 'FPGA Prototyping by Verilog Examples' as my first starting point with Verilog and it was very easy to follow. This will give you a basic level of understanding of FPGA development, from there you can study more specific topics. There was a good article yesterday on HN that went through the process of taking the Cordic algorithm and implementing it in Verilog, it's a good example of using FPGAs to implement a specific algorithm. http://zipcpu.com/dsp/2017/08/30/cordic.html http://zipcpu.com/dsp/2017/08/30/cordic.html
