Description: The Elements of Computing Systems by Noam Nisan, Shimon Schocken Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "A unique approach to teaching about hardware and software by having students build their own machine from scratch, using simple simulators provided on the companion site"-- Publisher Description A new and extensively revised edition of a popular textbook used in universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online courses.A new and extensively revised edition of a popular textbook used in universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online courses.The best way to understand how computers work is to build one from scratch, and this textbook leads learners through twelve chapters and projects that gradually build the hardware platform and software hierarchy for a simple but powerful computer system. In the process, learners gain hands-on knowledge of hardware, architecture, operating systems, programming languages, compilers, data structures and algorithms, and software engineering.Using this constructive approach, the book introduces readers to a significant body of computer science knowledge and synthesizeskey theoretical and applied techniques into one constructive framework.The outcome is known known as Nand to Tetris- a journey that starts with the most elementary logic gate, called Nand, and ends, twelve projects later, with a general-purpose computer system capable of running Tetris and any other program that comes to your mind.The first edition of this popular textbook inspired Nand to Tetris classes in many universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online course platforms. This second edition has been extensively revised. It has been restructured into two distinct parts-Part I, hardware, and Part II, software-with six projects in each part. All chapters and projects have been rewritten, with an emphasis on separating abstraction from implementation, and many new sections, figures, and examples have been added. Substantial new appendixes offer focused presentation on technical and theoretical topics.
