>focus on the fundamentals rather than the particular brand of tools.
But you went on to list a bunch of tools. Sure today HTML, TCP, HTTP seem fundamental, but when they first came out?
CPU is very open ended, what do you mean focus on CPU? Do you mean x86 or do you just mean that there exists a concept called a central processing unit where bits go in and bits come out?
With that said all I have to say on this issue is that there are different strategies to learning, and for some people such as myself, I prefer learning things from the concrete and towards the abstract. I like starting from the actual tools and frameworks and very specific and particular things I can manipulate, and then abstracting from them and building up concepts, as opposed to what it seems many others like to do which is to start from high level concepts.
