The basic approach seems sensible.

The free book you have founds is worth very little more than you paid for it !

By all means read it, but you will need to read many others as well. Look at code examples on the web (manufactuers (Altera, Xilinx, Lattice stuff is good).

Google "single process state machine vhdl".

check out this:

Explains multiple things including why the Free Range book isn't much good !

Remember 90% of all books is wrong or incomprehensible, that's why you need to read at least 10 to have any chance at all of understanding the subject, but any statistician will tell you that the probability of 10 being enough is vanishingly small (think about it). You need a lot more than 10 sources.

Actually, once you get going a bit, search the web often and you'll learn a lot more (than you can get from the books you can afford afford time and money for) but some of it will be wrong.
