12 years agoI typically code in VHDL due mainly to the fact that when I had to make the language selection, Altera MAX+Plus II's Verilog support was lacking a feature I needed.
If put in the same position again, I would note that all of Altera's recent IP cores are being written in SystemVerilog (or perhaps Verilog). Mentor Graphics "Verification Academy" https://verificationacademy.com/ has a whole lot of resources on learning the correct way to code in SystemVerilog, and there's a couple of decent books on the subject SystemVerilog for Verification, Spear SystemVerilog for Design, Sutherland et al. You can also download the SystemVerilog specification for free. http://standards.ieee.org/getieee/1800/download/1800-2012.pdf So, although I'm still stuck in my ways and will continue to code in VHDL, I do see the advantage in learning SystemVerilog, and coding in whatever is appropriate for the particular task.
