Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: From Nand to Tetris (Project-Centered Course)

One of the best courses I have taken. I am so excited about this course and the instructors are amazing.The journey in this first part of the course gave me a lot of intuition about how a computer works under the hood. 100% recommended!!

Having now taken a number of different courses across both on Coursera and elsewhere, I can honestly say that this course is perhaps the best one I've taken -- it's comprehensive without being overly tedious, and the fact that the assignments are projects, rather than quizzes or exams, was both more engaging and helped me better understand (and appreciate) the material.

I really loved this course, it helped me to get a better understanding of what's happening under the hood of the computer.

so helpful!

I loved this course it made me think and hade a lot of fun building my own computer. just a hint the slides are on the site that the course send you too. that will help with tables

This is the best basic computer lessons I have ever entered. When I finished building a hack computer, I felt proud and exited. Thank you!

Pluses are :- Great Projects !!Like the saying "Simplicity is beauty", both the authors' presentations were very simpleI thoroughly enjoyed the course.Minuses are :- Justification for the behaviour of Half-Adders & Full-Adders was not covered.Magic of ALU control bits was not explicitly explained.In project6, since Assembler was not written in Binary language, the hardship of making a real assembler in machine language was not felt leaving the project a little unsatisfactory.Final Verdict :-Thank you so much for making this course. You guys have written, an Assembler, Hardware-emualtor, Cpu-emulator etc.And the graphics that comes with "Program & Data Flow" option is simply icing on the cake.And to top this, this entire course can be audited free of cost. This is a thankless service you guys have regardlessly rendered.Great Respect & Massive Gratitude i have for you guys. Thank you so much. Much appreciated

Best for ever

Absolutely amazing.

Amazing course, thank you professor Shimon and Noam!

Great course that teaches you the basics of the technology from which computers are built. The instructors carefully walk you through the concepts such that the problems feel relatively easy and simple compared to some other courses. If you like challenges, you might not like this approach, but I think it's appropriate for this course (as an introductory course) so that you can pick up the main points and not get frustrated from getting stuck on problems you don't have sufficient knowledge/experience to handle.

The best course I have ever taken. The projects and lectures are so interesting, that I would sit the whole day finishing it. I have gained a lot of knowledge from this. Thank you.
