I did take a course on computer architecture and organization. Just this last term, in fact. It's been one of my favourite course so far. Our final (small) project for that class was writing a simple assembly program -- ours asked the user for a word, counted the number of vowels in that word, then printed that result to the console. Challenging, but very, very interesting.

I've added those two books to my list. Thank you for the recommendation!

Rad. If you've already had that class, then the stuff in those books won't be totally novel to you. But you may still learn some stuff from one or both.
