Watch the TED talk on the course ...

Then if still interested:
Take the course, I think a new one is starting soon. (It's free)
Here's the URL: https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer
I also think that the entire thing has been posted on YouTube.
It's still better to register in Coursera because then you'll do the
exercises, and get graded. You also get a free HDL compiler and
other stuff.
And of course, since you build the computer (at least virtually - can make the
actual chip as well if you wish), you create the instruction set and build the logic
to handle it.
Then to top it off, you build an assembler (In C).
The HDL compiler has a full emulator built in, so you can see it run in virtual mode
