Learning Adventures and Courses -- Differences?

What is the difference between the two learning adventures, Become a Web Developer and Learn Ruby on Rails?

Also whats the difference between a learning adventure and a project (or is it a course?) like, Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application?

The Become a Web Developer learning adventure focuses on more than just Ruby. It provides a series of courses aimed at giving you the necessary knowledge to become a beginner web developer. Learn Ruby on Rails is a course specifically for teaching Ruby on Rails, and I believe it's one of the many courses included in the learning adventure.

A learning adventure is a collection of projects/courses, if you will. It's just a series of courses put together in a way such that you're building knowledge on what you previously learned. A learning adventure typically has a larger scope than a single project.

+1. Except one thing, the two learning adventures over lap each other but the ruby on Rails on has more content.

Guys, thank you for your replies.
