I completed the entire course in just 4 days after purchasing it. Although the title says "Learn Computer Architecture Easily by Building," if you have absolutely zero knowledge of computer architecture, there's a high chance you'll find it very difficult to understand when building the computer.
To really get the most out of this course, it's best to first build a basic understanding of computer architecture through other books or lectures, then use this course for review + visualization by building things directly. I absolutely do not recommend watching this with no base knowledge.
There isn't much theoretical content on computer architecture. To be honest, it's not deep at all - it's just surface level. However, at the level of actually building a computer, it deals with circuits, so it's quite difficult to understand.
The theory is shallow but the circuits are complex, which is why I recommend this for review purposes. It's better to have a solid grasp of theory before working with circuits.
Summary
1. The computer architecture theory portion is shallower than expected.
2. The circuit implementation part is quite complex. It's fun though.
3. Rather than learning theory, it's really focused on 'building.'
4. If you study a theory book like "Self-Study Computer Architecture" first and then take this course, it will be extremely helpful.
5. Learning the operational structure of computers visually leads to good understanding.
6. Not recommended for those with no computer architecture base. Best for review purposes.
7. There aren't many places that teach you to build with actual circuits, so I'm completely satisfied.
