Nand2Tetris (sometimes written as "From NAND to Tetris" or "The Elements of Computing Systems") is an educational project and course that guides students through building a complete modern computer system from first principles.
Core Concept
The fundamental idea behind Nand2Tetris is to build an entire modern computer system - from the basic NAND gate all the way up to a high-level programming language and operating system capable of running games like Tetris. The project follows a bottom-up approach where students construct each layer of the computing hierarchy using only components they've built in previous steps.
Nand2Tetris is widely used in computer science education and has been praised for its integrated approach to teaching computing fundamentals, making it accessible to students with diverse backgrounds while providing deep insights into how modern computers actually work.
Nand is the most basic component logic gate.

week 1: basic logic gate week2: ALU week3: register, memory system Week5: design an computer
week 4: writing low-level
assembly language
- low-level language, not useful as high level language
Rich language:
- expressions, loop, data types
- classes, methods
- built in operations, I/O math
we need construct a compiler and standard library
