A continuation of my participation in the amazing Nand2Tetris course, by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken, now running on Coursera. In this course you will build a modern computer system, from the ground up. We’ll take you from constructing elementary logic gates all the way through creating a fully functioning general purpose computer. In the process, you will learn how really computers work, and how they are designed. If interested, see prior posts:

I love computers. When I recently discovered that the Nand2Tetris guys, Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken, had just packaged their famous course into a neat 12 week Coursera package, I couldn’t resist studying it any longer.
