Have seen this vouched for numerous times on HN, been meaning to check it out when I get some free time: http://nand2tetris.org/

Goes up the stack from boolean logic to OS.

The Elements of Computing Systems book/course doesn't really cover electronics design at all. Terms like "resistor" and "voltage" aren't covered. It just asks students to construct some basic patterns using a software package.

I think the user is looking for something more like this:

That's a pretty big mouthful to swallow on your own, though. There are probably more gentle approaches available.

Ah yeah you're both right, my bad. Didn't read carefully enough. Definitely not a course to learn basics of electronics engineering.

That sounds like a very cool course, but it doesn't seem to cover any actual hardware. It is a purely software approach to designing a computer from logic gates.
