A new and extensively revised edition of a popular textbook used in
universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online
courses.The best way to understand how computers work is to build
one from scratch, and this textbook leads learners through twelve
chapters and projects that gradually build the hardware platform
and software hierarchy for a simple but powerful computer system.
In the process, learners gain hands-on knowledge of hardware,
architecture, operating systems, programming languages, compilers,
data structures and algorithms, and software engineering. Using
this constructive approach, the book introduces learners to a
significant body of computer science knowledge and demonstrates how
theoretical and applied techniques taught in other computer science
courses fit into the overall picture. The outcome of these efforts
is known as Nand to Tetris a journey that starts with the most
elementary logic gate, called Nand, and ends, twelve projects
later, with a general-purpose computer system capable of running
Tetris. The first edition of this popular textbook inspired Nand to
Tetris classes in universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs,
and online course platforms. This second edition has been
extensively revised. It has been restructured into two distinct
parts--Part I, hardware, and Part II, software--with six projects
in each part. All chapters and projects have been rewritten, with
an emphasis on separating abstraction from implementation, and many
new sections, figures, and examples have been added. Substantial
new appendixes offer focused presentation on technical and
theoretical topics.
