How come some of the rails courses are not part of the rails track?

I remember seeing the rails track a few months ago that focused on building Treebook. I am not ready to learn rails and dont see some of the rails courses from the Library in the track.

What order should I incorporate them as I would like to learn all the courses for rails but dont want to mess up the order of the project.

Treebook is now very outdated. It uses Rails 3, older version of Bootstrap and even uses JavaScript for hover effects (today you can do it in CSS much more easily). You can still do it, but you need those older versions of stuff or be able to translate this into newer versions or Rails etc.

Courses get replaced in a track long before they are entirely removed from the library. Do the entire track first once you've got that down you can check out the other Ruby based content that's in the library.

Thanks for the answer, I guess I assumed that content was updated. I am sure the current rails track will be more than enough to get me started! Thanks!
