Rainy Saturday diversion...
Have you guys seen this? It's an introductory CS textbook that takes
the student from simple boolean logic circuits up through successive
layers of abstraction to a working game (not necessarily Tetris). At
the end of the term, the student has a game that he understands at
every level all the way down to the gates.
Boolean Logic
Combinatorial Chips
Sequential Chips
Machine Language
Computer Architecture
Assembler
Virtual Machine I: Arithmetic
Virtual Machine II: Machine Control
Programming Language
Compiler I: Syntax Analysis
Compiler II: Code Generation
Operating System
More Fun to Go (an open project?)
Verrah cool!
Some chapters of the book are on line, and all the exercises are. I
did the first two chapters' exercises this morning, and plan to do
more later. (My education is a little skimpy on the lower levels, so
I can use it.)
There are also some videos.
