- detaro 9y agoPretty sure that's part of the first course (https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer), and this one starts above the hardware.
- signa11 9y ago> NAND refers to NAND gates right -- does this course start from Hardware? NAND does refer to NAND gates. no the course doesn't start from hardware. a (java based) simulator is used to simulate the most fundamental building block. and then things go from there. take a look at the following: http://www.nand2tetris.org/ http://www.nand2tetris.org/ for more information.
- rkachowski 9y agothe hardware is simulated, but you do actually start from NAND gates to build primitive logic gates, then forward to a half adder, full adder, ALU, CPU and ram memory
