What's the difference between Buildroot and Poky approach? #1

Firstly, I don't think this is the best place to ask this question, but I'm opening it here anyway. I'm a beginner in SoC's and have a hard time understanding the build process for Linux. I was following this tutorial from rocketboards and yours from here.

From what I understand the one from rocketboards uses Poky and yours using Buildroot. Can you differentiate between the two? On the other hand I may be comparing two different things here and I'm asking the wrong question. I'm just confused because it seems Buildroot was never mentioned on the rocketboards tutorial and you never mentioned poky in yours.

@zhemao, I will be posting more questions here. I will post them individually so that we can focus on each issue separately. I hope you can share your ideas regarding my questions. Thanks.
