So I have been reading this great book and I decided to do the Project in Chapter 5: Writing an Assembler for the Hack Assembly Language.
You can find the specification for the Hack Machine Language and the Hack Assembly Language here.
Here is my implementation:

If you would also like to do this exercise, you can find the software here.
