In practice an engineer typically needs to be mentored for several years before these principles are appropriately utilized. The topics that will be discussed in this book are essential to designing FPGAs beyond moderate complexity. The goal of the book is to present practical design techniques that are otherwise only available through mentorship and real world experience
