Time to start learning FPGA! How to choose the correct FPGA for this project?

Oh I see.. Moderated? Did I write something wrong or was it just because it's my first post?

I ordered the DE0-Nano a couple of hours ago now!! This is going to be awesome :D

I have no knowledge of C.. Although I would probably need to learn to read C macros.

will check some code examples in both styles to see what type appeals to me I guess ;)

as as long as I can learn/do the same things in both "languages" then I will be fine I think. Just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss out on some functions or such for choosing one or the other.

It got moderated, Ive approved it for you.

You can do pretty much the same things with both languages. Verilog handles more like C, whereas you might not like VHDL if you know C. Because VHDL has strong typing it is somewhat self linting and can prevent you falling in some traps you can in verilog, but at the end of the day its not knowing the language thats important, its understanding the underlying hardware you are going to describe with either HDL. The important thing to remember is they are NOT programming languages. They are Description languages - you describe hardware.
