basically... this: http://screencast.com/t/1QnKy1Hl3EH
"Implementing designs for iPhone" is a essentially just "Self Destructing Photo App Part 2", so why do i need to build a photo viewer first?

15,323 PointsI believe you can still access any of these courses through the Library. For example, I'm on the Rails Track, and, while there are grayed out courses in my tree (i.e., the ones I've yet to complete), I can still watch them via the Treehouse Library. I don't think it's Treehouse's intention to lock members out of courses, though it could seem that way with the new design of the tracks.

39,199 PointsMaybe this will shed some light on hows / whys of the new tracks:
> Tracks are a focused, on-rails experience meant for students that want or need structure. If we allow skipping again now, we're just going to take it away again in the future anyway. Using Tracks as a general curriculum guide, while helpful, is not ideal and I think what those students who want to go off track really want is actually functionality like a Playlist or Queue to forge their own path through Treehouse. So, we'll work on that!
