Getting to grips with Quartus II

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am completely new to quartus II and was wondering what is the best way to get to grips with it. I have done the tutorial but i didn't learn much from it.  Thank you for your input.

The best way is to read the documentation: 

 http://www.altera.com/support/software/sof-quartus.html  Specifically the handbook: http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-qts.jsp  If you are a Xilinx user this will seem foreign to you as documentation is almost non-existent in the Xilinx world. However, Altera's documentation is usually quite thorough.  Aside from that, practice makes perfect. Quartus II is a very powerful piece of software. The online help within Quartus is pretty good as well.  If you come across an error or warning during compilation you can right click on the error and select "Help" which will usually provide you with a description of the problem and a generic solution.  Jake

Give yourself a specific target and try to implement it on Quartus II by designing a state machine. Try to do all the compilation and simulation processes, in this way some questions will arise and you will naturally learn how to solve the typical first problems of approaching the Quartus II environment.
