Up to date and not ancient VHDL tutorial!

Hi,
I was searching the web for a decent and cool and new way of interactively learning VHDL or verilog, but I do not know why what ever I have found was old, like 2000 or before and it was actually boring! |O |O |O

So what am I missing? do we live in a brand new world for VHDL or verilog with a decent colorful and new and fun tutorial?

Any Ideas would highly appriciated! currently I'm interested in VHDL but I might consider Verilog after I have done some projects with VHDL.

coppice:
Verilog and VHDL haven't really changed much since 2000. Why would you expect newer tutorials?

rstofer:
You might Google for 'xilinx vhdl tutorial'

I haven't seen a comprehensive multi-part video tutorial but Xilinx publishes a lot of documentation for their devices and tools.

You have wrong expectation. An HDL (Hardware Description Language) is not about cool and fun, it's about hard and tedious.

For example, VHDL is a strongly-typed language, which can make it very frustrating, especially at the beginning.

You may want to try Verilog, which is considered to be a little "friendlier" than VHDL, but don't expect any "Python friendliness".

Not recent, but a good starting point: https://www.fpga4fun.com/HDLtutorials.html

I doubt you will find "colorful" and "fun" tutorials on HDLs. It is not Arduino, you actually need to do a lot of prep work to get started.

If you want to ease into it, it is really better to get a cheap board and try the supplied examples. And then modify them in small increments to make sure that things still work.
