496: Beauty, Elegance, Consistency

Professor Shimon Schocken spoke with us about teaching computer science from NAND logic gates to arithmetic units, micro assembly, virtual machines, compilers, operating systems, and the Tetris games. We also talk about good design, good interfaces, and good tests.

Shimon's book is Elements of Computing Systems and the website with the course lecture notes, slides, videos, simulators, and everything you need is nand2tetris.org.

Shimon mentioned his work with teaching math, that is www.matific.com. You can find out more about Shimon's other projects on his site shimonschocken.com (including his fascinating TED talk: The self-organizing computer course).

Shimon's co-author is Noam Nisan who also wrote about understanding logic systems (look, anytime we can bring up Gödel's incompleteness theorems, we will).

We talked about Tim Bell's CS Unplugged, teaching computer science concepts without a computer. It comes in Classic and Modern flavors.
