Building a Modern Computer From First Principles
A computer science textbook that wasn't discussed here before, and that many of you may haven't encountered yet.
The basic approach is summarized in the title of the authors presentation From Nand to Tetris in 12 Steps (3.5 MB, Powerpoint). I am sure LtU readers will find a lot to complain about (they authors build an OO language...), but I am fond of the hands on approach, which is kind of similar to the approach taken by our favorites: SICP, CTM, EOPL etc. Update: The published book is The Elements of Computing Systems, Building a Modern Computer from First Principles.
