I went to Portland yesterday.  (IKEA, wheee!)  Today I spent most of
the day on this book.  I did all the exercises through chapter 6,
Assembler.  So I actually "built" a "CPU" from "chips".

The book spoon feeds you the design so it wasn't really like designing
a CPU, and the systems are as simplistic as imaginable, but it was a
lot of fun nonetheless.

I highly recommend this course for self-study.

Since all the apps are on-line, and since every exercise has a
verification test, it's easy to know whether you're doing the
exercises right.
