I have learned lot more visually. For example I saw some cool sorting algoritms videos and i learned more then when i read.

I was wondering if you can recomend me some products or online simulations/animations of any part of the computer, cpu or cache or main memory anything, or even better, all of them working together at the logical level. Maybe Verilog has such things?

Regards

I was thinking about doing a big computer animation series about Object-Oriented programming and other programming topics to make it easier to visualize.

I can't give any recommendations since I don't know any, but that's why I was thinking of doing it myself. :)
Wow I changed my sig!

Good luck with the project, the community will love you for that.

I mean programming and computer stuff is so ridicilously easy, but the literature is so so confusing. I think i can teach a 12 year old with the proper animations and java applets and what not, to program on high level.

You mean really just like vmware? or a simple simulation?

vmware, nope...

Simulations, you know, animations of how computer works on the logical level. How the fetch-execute process works for example... There are nice applets on the web but if you have recomendations please fill this thread with loads of it :)

Simulation is nice idea. You can get it but I think it will cost you a big amount.

There's a lot of simulation/emulation software available on the Internet for free - just use Google and you'll see.
