I will watch this one later, but I can totally understand the excitement. Just for some background: in college I took an introductory digital logic class and loved it, but then I moved over to a humanities degree and lost a lot of that information. Then I started programming again, but mostly as a "self-taught" web developer-- not to undercut my high school and college work (I was on a HS programming team that was competitive), but most of what I use in my day to do day life are things I picked up from having to do increasingly difficult projects/tasks as a programmer interspersed with ocasional seasons of motivations where I'd pick up new techniques (functional programming, server management, front end web rendering frameworks, etc). Ben Eater's long series on building a computer out of 65c02 and then his longer series on building a microprocessor from TTL logic chips hit an incredibly sweet spot for me. I'd spent some time trying to teach my kids how to do basic electronics (building things like 555 timers or little robots with pi's for controllers, so I have some familiarity with the topic. I suppose if I had the time and were motivated, I could have gotten some textbooks and learned the same material. However, his material was setup in a way that made it very easy to grasp as a passive consumer of the video. It feels like it covered the topic as deeply as I was interested and answered a lot of questions as it went along. So, as a person who has enough familiarity with the concepts to find it interesting but no pressing need to master the material deeply, I highly recommend his work.
