where do I start?

Hi every one I want to learn how to use FPGAs but I don't know where to start or what should I study first. I know about microcontrollers but nothing about HDL or FPGAs. Does anybody knows a go...

Well that's a problem, I don't know what exactly I can do with an FPGA, I've read that you can program logic blocks in it and cores like coldfire 1.

So, can I put for example a couple of demultiplexers, latches, counters and logic gates?

Can I put the logic circuit that I'm using to interface my microcontroller with a LCD?

What kind of knowledge is necessary to use FPGAs?
