And looking at introductory stuff on FPGA’s. (ps: In the category of “Learn programming language X the hard way”, anybody have any suggestions for “Learning VHDL?”)
I haven’t completely read either of these. I learned the more complete digital logic “stack” via the MIT 6.111 course (notes online at, eg, http://web.mit.edu/6.111/www/f2015/index.html).
Somewhat disparate and weird….

“Learning VHDL/Verilog The Hard Way” would be great, but I don’t know of anything.
There is “FPGAs? Now What?” from XESS (VHDL, Xilinx toolchain, specific Xess board): http://www.xess.com/static/media/appnotes/FpgasNowWhatBook.pdf
And there is “Free Rangle VHDL” (VHDL, Xilinx, but also simulation and language-general stuff: http://www.gstitt.ece.ufl.edu/vhdl/refs/free_range_vhdl.pdf
