Hello, I am a new user here and new to the Zig Language as a whole I am currently reading Systems Programming with Zig from Manning Publications, I am on Chapter 2 so far and enjoying the read.
my enthusiasm for this programming language comes fresh off finishing my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from my local University and I am looking to build a MIPS Emulator that is modern and understandable that I can have fun building but also have replace the outdated tools we used in Computer Architecture class (this was also my favorite course in the degree program)
I have a copy of Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy and while the book was okay, i found it’s explanations lacking. so I went to look for an alternative book and i was happily surprised to find the book Digital Design and Computer Architecture: Second Edition by David Money Harris & Sarah L. Harris This text was a godsend for me in learning and i wrote all over it in the margins taking notes and I plan to use the text as a vehicle for this project.
To those heavily initiated and invested in the Zig Programming Language, is a project like this doable for a new grad? What do you all think, am I being too ambitious with this idea?
