For this, I recommend working through the simulation "game" NAND2Tetris, where you work from the basic building blocks up to an simulated CPU, and onward to programming a game of Tetris.

I was in Chemistry class when the professor explained how using standard stoichiometric formulae, a transistor worked.... I was gob-smacked... and can NOT find a good equivalent to that using google right now.
