If you are interested in computers, were able to understand algebra and maybe pre-calc in high school, you should take this course (free on Coursera). It’s absolutely fascinating to see a computer being built from logic gates up. Seriously . . . Do it!
I actually emailed Shimon to notify him that his site had been flagged, and he personally replied to thank me for letting him know, and assured me it should all be above board within the day. Thankfully it is all now running perfectly, so I will make a start on the course just as soon as I've brushed up on my programming skills (I'm a little out of practice!)
53:51 this is some nice insight into the architecture and complexity of modern computers and how high level languages help us immensely in producing more functionality faster
Looks like a great course, and very well thought out. As he touched upon, if courses were as well thought out and well defined in general, then i think education would be significantly furthered both by better engagement of students, and by better use of that engaged time. Maybe we need a metric of how well defined a course is!
Is anyone else having trouble downloading this video? I've tried to download it with a few different firefox addons, and it thinks it's done once it downloads 967 bytes, even though the video is 212MB.
you don't need to build a physical computer to understand the concept behind it and if you want to build it physically then you will need to learn electronics not computer science
I'm halfway through this course and it has been an eye opening experience. It is filling large knowledge gaps for me personally.

@@PerryCodes Im really excited about this nand2teris course, are you done already? How much time does it take?
An entire computer science degree in a single one hour video.
I love Google Talks - really enforce a lot of the learning im doing on my Comp-Sci degree, this course plan sounds extremely interesting though!

What a fascinating world!!!

Entire course is uploaded to the net :). -> Google it.
thanks for sharing GoogleTalksArchive
thanks Miner! :)
The XOR gate. Unnecessarily complex. Replace the 2 AND gates and the OR gate with NAND. Total 3 NAND + 2 NOT (or 5 NAND)

so the computer at the end is a simulated pc and not a actual hands on physical hardware pc

Simone says in a Ted Talk: Astronomy is not about telescopes, computer science is not about computers.
try using freemake video downloader.
good book
At the end I clapped myself O_O
Now try that, minecrafters!

Why does is sound like this talk is being done inside a Starbucks?? Very annoying, all that background noise...
