Came across this while I was reading an entry on #ALTDEVBLOGADAY. The entry was part 2 of 9, C / C++ Low Level Curriculum part 2 which is interesting in it’s own right.
There was a link to this interesting MIT open course called: From NAND to Tetris, which discussing building an entire computer from first principals. The idea is to work backward, instead of starting at high-level abstraction beginning at the lowest interesting level in computer science (logic gates)
Although not required, it’s meant to be consumed with it’s own accompanying book, which i’ve already ordered and should get here by Tuesday – i’m very excited to start reading it and going through the course.
The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles
