Code by Charles Petzold then doing Nand to Tetris has given me an abiding (though amateur) fascination with computer architecture, which lead to building a 6502 machine and reading about lots of other architectures.
- redwoolf 5y agoI came here to mention this book. I think it's a great introduction to how computers work and well written.
- bennysomething 5y agoI went through the nand book too,it's amazing. What do you mean exactly by building a 6502 machine? In real hardware? You bought a 6502 and created a whole computer from other bits?
- porknubbins 5y agoYes in real hardware, though its a breadboard computer where the io is push buttons and an led array. So more a computer in the 70s hobbyist sense. I learned from Ben Eater’s youtube videos which are a good followup to nand to tetris.
- bennysomething 5y agoThanks for this , I'll look at his videos
