The authors explicitly assume that the person has some programming experience in a high-level language, preferably an object-oriented one.
The last half of the book is programming intensive. In addition to writing the assembler in Chapter 6 (which is by far the easiest of the programming tasks), you have to write a VM translator in Chapters 7 and 8, you need to learn how to program in Jack in Chapter 9, then you write a compiler in Chapters 10 and 11, and finally you write the operating system libraries in Jack in Chapter 12.
