getting started in FPGA

Howdy folks.

I've got a recent BS in computer sytems engineering, which is a like
EE with some compsci mixed in.  I've used CPLDs, and really want to
get a good start in FPGAs so I can build my career in the 'embedded'
direction.

How does one start out in fpga development given that funds are
limited ?

thanks
