Jeff's Ultra Technology company sells some video tapes of a class on FPGA
logic design.  You can find them here:

Here is a link for to an easy introduction to VHDL:

(search http://www.google.com for 'VHDL' and 'tutorial' for more)

You probably should get a good textboox on VLSI and VHDL.  Then you can use
some tools to prototype your designs in FPGA.  Others on this list should be
able to give you additional suggesions.   IANAHE (I am not a hardware
engineer), but I hope this helps.

Dear Jeff Fox :

I read your reply for  "P16 VHDL". I'm beginner to vlsi design and i'm now
trying to learn VHDL and i need from you some guide on the steps i can
follow to be able to design chip.

* I need also to know is the Vhdl compiler generate the RTL output or there
is any other tool which generate the RTL output.

* Also i need to know after generating the RTL output how i can generate the
complete structural design and what is the tool that generate the structural
design.

* I need also to know is the structural design will be in the form of gates
or transistors and how this structural design be transfered to the
technology i will fabricate the chip.

With my best regards
