7/15    So I have 3 days to (re)learn VHDL. The only EE class I took was
        cs152, no 150, no 141.  Any advice?
        \_ uh, what is this for? And how can you take 152 without 150?
        \_ so, is comp arch considered software or hardware?
                \_ it's the boundary in between them.
        \_ they teach it now in 61c/150.
        \_ 141 is probably irrelevant for most vhdl coding tasks.  150 is
           more relevant.  if you've learned vhdl in the past, just do a
           few exercises and you'll be fine.  if vhdl is new, find someone
           who knows the language well to teach you.  of course, this only
           addresses syntactical sugar.  learning how to design once you've
           learned vhdl is another matter.
        \_ what's the diff between Verilog and VHDL? Adv/Disadvantages?
           \_ the diff? the syntax. they do the same thing but vhdl requires
              more typing and in my exp. the latest tools etc. are targetted
              more at verilog. vhdl has some higher level constructs like
              records and shit that can be nice for some things. verilog
              is used by the vast majority of valley companies.

9/13    What's the industry standard (if any) VHDL simulation program?
        ie, the photoshop for image editing.... thanks.
        \_ It really depends on what you want to do.  The short-short
           answer is don't use VHDL.  If you must, then it depends on what
           you're trying to do.  FPGA guys are big on Modeltech, I hear.
           For ASIC types, it's the usual VCS and NC.  NC used to have

7/19    Can somebody recommend a book (or a web site) that has step by step
        descriptions of how an ASIC is built?  From the verilog/vhdl to
        actual silicon.  What tools are used and what happens at every
        stage, etc.  Thanks.
        \_ If you're still in school, take 141 or 152 or intern at an ASIC
           design group. If you're out in the job market, join one.

2/11    Are most upper division courses in CS in Java?  Do they teach C++/C
        anymore?
        \_ Computer science isn't the business of teaching C/C++ or Java
           or Perl or any other programming language.  Nor is it about
           "how to program either".  But from what I've been through
           many upper div CS courses still use C/C++ including 162, 164
