From Nand to Tetris in 12 steps

[@PublicCommerce]

An entire computer science degree in a single one hour video.

I'm halfway through this course and it has been an eye opening experience. It is filling large knowledge gaps for me personally.

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!

@@PerryCodes Im really excited about this nand2teris course, are you done already? How much time does it take?

[@nickhill9445]

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!

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!

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

What a fascinating world!!!

Entire course is uploaded to the net :). -> Google it.

[@nickhill9445]

The XOR gate. Unnecessarily complex. Replace the 2 AND gates and the OR gate with NAND. Total 3 NAND + 2 NOT (or 5 NAND)

thanks for sharing GoogleTalksArchive

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.

[@TheHTMLCode]

thanks Miner! :)

[@Sarge92]

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

[@akki100boyz]

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

Simone says in a Ted Talk: Astronomy is not about telescopes, computer science is not about computers.

try using freemake video downloader.

[@fadmad7257]

good book

[@adamkatav9752]

At the end I clapped myself O_O

[@KevinKentor]

Now try that, minecrafters!

Pueda ser interesante lo hacer en minecraft la mismisimo maquina, "hack"

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