About the Course

In this project-centered course you will build a modern software hierarchy, designed to enable the translation and execution of object-based,
high-level languages on a bare-bone computer hardware platform. In particular, you will implement a virtual machine and a compiler for a
simple, Java-like programming language, and you will develop a basic operating system that closes gaps between the high-level language and
the underlying hardware platform. In the process, you will gain a deep, hands-on understanding of numerous topics in applied computer
science, e.g. stack processing, parsing, code generation, and classical algorithms and data structures for memory managem...

This is by far one of the best online-courses I have completed. Thumbs up, it was well worth my time and it will definitely help me on my never-ending journey of becoming a better software developer.

I'm a 13 year old 8th Grader from California. I loved this course and learned a lot! Thank you Mr.Schocken for putting together such a wonderful course! It was a thrill to finish the course finally!

A very good and thorough course.

One downside when compared to the first part however, was the lack of the book chapters. In the first part of the course, many of the chapters were available, and I found them extremely helpful. However, while I frequently wanted the written material in this part, only one or two were available. The required material was findable in the videos, but searching through videos, and reading big tables of grammars, api contracts etc which I need to implement, is much less convenient than having a written document.

It was a fun course, yet it's super involved! Please be sure to have a solid understanding of computer programming and computer science before you take this course!

It was a bit superficial. Homework helped to practice the basics. I prefer more detailed and more deep lectures.
