What Order Should I Take The Ruby Courses?

I'm on the Rails Track, and I've almost completed it, but there are quite a few other Ruby courses that have been added lately. That's completely awesome, but leaves me with a question. Assuming that I wanted to complete them all - including the recently added "Ruby Operators and Control Structures" - what order should I take them in?

"Ruby Operators and Control Structures" is a purely Ruby course, so you can and should do it as soon as possible, although it doesn't have much new stuff if you did the track. As for Rails courses, they usually have recommended pre-requisite courses listed (they are shown when you click the given course in the library). If they don't, it means you can do them anytime.

Also, be aware that Simple Ruby on Rails Application, Social Features and Advanced Social Fetaures (the Treebook Trilogy) are old courses and require Rails 3.2 and some other older components if you want to follow the videos. All the other Rails courses are fine for Rails 4+.

Thanks to you both! This is exactly what I was looking for. :)
