VHDL questions

A little atopical, I know, but I have some questions for the experienced
VHDL types around here:

How difficult is is to learn VHDL?  More specifically, does having a
background in C64 programming -- registers, timing and synchronization,
digital circuits/timers/etc. -- help, hurt, or make no difference?

Any recommended books/tutorials/resources for learning it?  (Any ones to
avoid?)

Finally, any recommended tools for developing VHDL?  For implementing it
in e.g. FPGA?

Basically I need to get up to speed on VHDL, but I'm wondering if it's the
type of thing that I could learn well enough to do an implementation
myself, or if it's the type of thing that I can learn OK enough to
communicate but really need someone else to do the design.

Thanks in advance!  Feel free to email me directly if needed (to keep down
list clutter, etc.).
