Ask HN: Feedback from anyone who finished Nand2Tetris

I recently came across a course named "NAND2Tetris", it seemed really interesting since it teaches lower level concepts right from the basics with the focus on building projects. I'm wondering if anyone on HN has finished it before and if yes, what was your experience like?

    I have a CS degree and have skimmed through it. It looks like a good curriculum to augment, say, an AP Comp Sci class. It also seems appropriate for the autodidacts who wish to get a solid grasp of computing fundamentals, even if they choose not to go into CS, but rather an ancillary field where such knowledge would prove useful (e.g., EE, Comp Eng).

    Having already covered all the topics, I didn't follow the course, let alone finish it, but would recommend its progression, especially for anyone who hasn't (yet) done a CS undergrad.
