I’m interested in this. What it the best way to learn the material? The book? The coursera course? Both? It’s a bit hard to tell just from the website.

I've been following the website and the course material provided therein: https://www.nand2tetris.org/course I did not sign up for the course on Coursera because I was able to make progress just fine with the free material on the website and I did not want to pay Coursera to get their certificates of completion.

The first 6 projects do not require purchasing the textbook as the relevant chapters are provided along with the project material. The next projects do not have the textbook chapters provided, so I bought the textbook.

I'm currently working on Project 8. I've been blogging about my progress here, if you want to take a look: https://gurudas.dev/tag/nand2tetris/

the nand2tetris book, Ben Eater's tutorials and nandgame

For me, NandGame[1] is a far better way to go. You get a much better hands-on feel of things when you can toggle the inputs yourself, and see how things work.
