Summary: Good intro
Comment: This book is well suited for a namesake semester course. We have used it, together with Murdocca's "Principles of Computer Architecture". The result has been quite satisfying for all of us. The book is well paced, and digital design topics are covered just enough to understand the second part of the book, about computer design fundamentals. This second part too is very well explained and many subtleties (e.g. details on CISC and RISC kind architectures) are precisely pointed out.
My only complain is that design concepts are explained with no reference to real CPUs (e.g. Intel, SPARC, Motorola, PowerPC), so if you are the kind of reader that likes a direct match on reality you'll have to look elsewhere to find some examples (e.g. Murdocca).

Summary: Excellen book and companion software
Comment: The previous reviewer complained that solutions to the exercises were not available. Since this is obviously a text book to be used in a course, I don't fault the author for not providing answers to the problems. Moreover, he does provide the answers to select problems on his www page.
The Xilinx student software is a great way to learn digital logic. Xilinx dominates most of the FPGA applications and experience with their software and more familiarity with their chips makes the Xilinx software a great choice.
Be aware that there is a "2nd Edition Updated" that is to be released soon. I spent $100 and already found out that it is out of date. I hope the author includes any supplementary material for the updated 2nd edition on his www page as well.

Summary: Computers Don't Make Mistakes!
Comment: This is a great book if you want study the theory of computers. How to create information with computer is really showed. There's all about 0s and 1s. There's not enough examples I think but otherwise everything is very clear.
