Why is Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application before Ruby Foundations in Become a Web Developer Learning adventure?

I would think Ruby foundations should be before so we actually know how the loops and such work. Idk if this is an error or if it was intended this way. I'd be curious to here what others have to say

This topics come up before in this thread

You can read a few people's thoughts on the matter in that thread, including mine thoughts there as well as the thoughts of the Ruby Teacher Jason Seifer.
