[Unixcert] From NAND gates to Tetris... wanna do it?

This seems almost a prerequisite to the Linux coures that we've taken in
our certification courses. I'm considering (being careful with my own time)
organizing a group that would study these materials together.

In doing research on MOOC, I ran into this video. It's a computer science
program that I'm personally excited about. It's a *perfect* Noisebridge
project.

One can build a computer (from the scratch: NAND gates -> Chip Sets ->
Hardware Platform -> Assembler -> Virtual Machine -> Operating System ->
Compiler -> Tetris Game).

    Here is the Ted talk that I saw that introduced me to the program:

    Here are the course materials:

This is incredibly good (and exciting) stuff. Is this already on the
noisebridge calendar? Should it be? (+1 votes accepted).


Kindest Regards,


Glen
