my programming career started when my friend convinced me to help him build a minimal redstone calculator

  Can anyone suggest redstone resources? I tried to learn computer architecture, logic gates etc but found it overwhelming, maybe making a simple cpu in redstone would be more approachable.

    The nand2tetris course is a better idea than doing it in redstone. A lot of redstone logic relies on strange bugs in Minecraft, so you'd quickly have to learn and memorize these quirks instead of the fundamentals. You can also try playing nandgame.com.

      This is less true than it once was. Most of the bug exploits now actually have built-in components that are used instead (observers being the big one). I don't think that Minecraft is a good choice for actually learning computer engineering, because the physics of Minecraft are very different than real physics. But with modern redstone, I think it could be a really approachable way to understanding the kind of thinking that goes into building a processor.
