Course Handouts and General Information:

Syllabus.pdf
A great Verilog tutorial on-line, and a zipped PDF file of that same tutorial.
verilog-handbook.pdf. This is a concise overview of the Verilog programming language.
realize-verilog.pdf. Gives a functional view of Verilog; i.e. if you want to build a processor model, this shows how. However, it confuses blocking/non-blocking assignments (calls "=" non-blocking and "<=" blocking). Otherwise, it is a decent overview.
