Primers for Handel-C

Hi all,

I need some good primer books on Handel-C. Plz. send-in the titles.
Thanx in advance.

A typical post originating from Google groups:- 

Hi
Solve my problem.
Thanx

Searching google reveals the poster has about a dozen posts, none of which
are outside threads he started and all bar one of which were started
asking 'usenet' to solve his problem. 

Why should I (or anyone) be inclined to solve the problem of someone who
almost certainly will not even read let alone solve my problems? 

Google provides a great usenet archive and search engine, their web based
posting facility is providing a bunch of information leeches which will
turn usenet into a wasteland of unanswered questions. 

I wish I could killfile anyone posting from google, I suggest everyone else
ignores them. 

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater!
The " vizzie" anonymous poster claims to be a scientist associated with
the indian government. He seems to think that newsgroups can be treated
like search engines, and he must not have observed the normal style in
this newsgroup.
So let's give him the benefit of the doubt, and hope that he is young
enough to learn.

My advice: Don't just jump into a newsgroup with a barrage of
questions. Get a feel for the prevailing style, and be more humble. You
still have a lot to learn, but try to learn by observing, not by
bombarding us with endless questions...

You already know where Google is on the web.  Try the search engine.
By the way, leave comp.lang.c out of this.  "Handel-C" is completely
off-topic here.

Good advice which I suspect will be read by almost no one accessing usenet
via google groups. When I look at posts coming from google groups it is
rare to find one in a thread which was not started by the poster. 

Hi All,

I am really sorry to annoy the members of the group with my posts. I
have recently started using Usenet groups and learning about their
usage.

Thank-you for the constructive suggestions of you all.

Usenet groups and learning the styles of using them.
Thank-you so much for constructive suggestions of you all.

(sorry.  flashback.)

Can anyone report their experiences on how efficient Handel-C's FPGA designs 
are, compared to direct VHDL designs?  I prefer to use a programming 
language to specify my state machine, because I can think more efficiently 
about the problem that way.  However, I'm concerned about how clean the 
ultimate design will be.  I'm assuming that Handel-C when processed produces 
VHDL.  I have the impression that if you don't constrain your self correctly 
in your use of Handel-C, you can end up with bulky hardware.

Whatever Handel-C is, it's not topical on comp.lang.c.
