Haven't finished it yet but it's all about building a full computer from a NAND to other logic gates (mux, dmux, and, or, etc) to higher level things like assembly, memory, cpu, and it keeps going to a tetris game.
It's challenging, comprehensive and builds upon itself. It's awesome

It doesn't actually keep going to a tetris game :). The final project is to build an OS that you could run tetris on if you were so inclined.
Cool course, but I bailed at the compiler stage because it feels like you hit diminishing returns for the work you need to put in (lots of tedious regex and text processing work for relatively little learning).
