About Computer Engineering?

If I wanted to learn about hardware and computer engineering where would I go? What are some good resources?

Hi Tristan,

From Wikipedia - Computer Engineering

Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software.

Since you mentioned hardware, that's more in line with Wikipedia - Electronic Engineering. Also check out edX and browse their electronics courses.

On the software side, one step above binary, is Assembly - the most common being x86 (32 bit). I've taken one course on this, and while it was a lot of fun, it takes a lot of gibberish (code) to do the simplest tasks.
