Learn FPGAs With a $25 Board and Open Source Tools

An anonymous reader writes: Hackaday has a 3 part tutorial with videos of using open source tools with a cheap ($25) FPGA board. The board isn't very powerful, but this could be the 'gateway drug' to FPGAs for people who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and install 100s of megabytes of software and license keys just to get their feet wet. The videos are particularly good--like watching them over their shoulder. As far as I know, this is the only totally open source FPGA toolchain out there.

Is the very first thing that both the post and the article SHOULD have said.
The fact that neither of them explained the acronym makes me question the value of information.
Because if you expect an article to tell you how to learn something, then you have to tell them what you are teaching, without having to google it.
