new to verilog

Agree with most of the folks here.

Verilog is more C like, thus for a beginer with some C programming knowledge and Digital electronics background it would be easier with verilog. However VHDL and Verilog compared and contrasted, have their own merits and its more to do with companies using there legacy stuff. e.g. Military and Aero industries prefer VHDL where as most other folks use Verilog and even system verilog and other newer languages(system C,specman e, vera etc).

You may just search over the web for "verilog tutorials" and you would get plethora of information.
