Quick question if I may. I have a very keen interest in trying this course...is what you build (hack) using actual physical circuits / components? Or do you run it all in simulation?

You might also like the book CODE: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software http://www.charlespetzold.com/code/index.html

It starts with sending signals using flashlights and follows the evolution of computers from the ground up (mostly hardware).

It's all simulation using a simplified HDL.
