Any recommendation on FPGA programming hardware/tools/books for noobs, please?

You can visit https://reddit.com/r/fpga There are lots of discussions about learning and getting hobby boards.

Buy a cheap FPGA board and get started. I can't stress the importance of this step too much.

Use this if you are writing code in Verilog:

It really helps once your projects aren't small anymore. It is nowhere near as important as the first step.

Whatever else you do is 1) secondary and 2) will be obvious after step 1.
