I did part one of two of nand2tetris online.

The biggest part they omitted was how flip flops work. They talk about it briefly in a end of unit video, however. They don't really talk about clock cycles in any depth, and their interactions with flip flops, and why they're important.

The course, I think, it better to have left it out. It keeps the first part focused on the combination of elements culminating in a CPU.

And, most of all, it inspires you. After doing the course, I was more than motivated to understand this myself. And it remains the most educational computing course I've ever done.
