    On a similar note, I am running through the Nand2Tetris book and courses aka "Building a Modern Computer from First Principles".

    The Nand2Tetris course is not a physical build (everything is done on a hardware simulator), but it shows how to bootstrap from boolean logic to NAND gates to a working (but simple) ALU to finally a working general purpose computer.
