# General info

## What is it?

This repository is me documenting, things i will be learning and building while reading [The elements computing systems](https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/elements-computing-systems).This is an attempt to make a modern comptuter out of nand gates.

quoting from book:

> *Nand to Tetris:* a hands-on journey that starts with the most elementary logic gate, called Nand, and ends up, twelve projects later, with a general  purpose computer system capable of running Tetris, as well as any other

program that comes to your mind. 

[know more](https://www.nand2tetris.org/).

## How i am doing it?

They are two ways to go about,

 1. Take online courses: [NandToTetris Part1](https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer), and [NandToTetris Part2](https://www.coursera.org/learn/nand2tetris2)

 2. Reading the **book** [The elements of computing systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles](https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/elements-computing-systems)

 I prefer reading, so i went with the **book** :), and sometimes [Computer Systems Design - Kamakoti | IIT Madras ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEAYkSg4uSQ0eDa24iKd7qJlsrvr8XcvF)

## Technologies

 * [The Nand to Tetris Software Suite](https://www.nand2tetris.org/software)

 * [Go 1.18.2 or later](https://go.dev/)
